Editors Review
Zucchini has always been a summer vegetable that has been added to pasta, rice or stews but is rarely eaten as a side dish on its own. This recipe of Korean style stir fried zucchini is a simple and delicious side dish. The zucchini slices are stir fried with garlic, green onions and sesame seeds in sesame oil which lets the flavors of this fresh tender vegetable shine through. So authentically Korean and a wonderful accompaniment to grilled meat!Comments
