Instructions
Creating Hibachi Zucchini is simple if you follow these clear steps:
1. Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and cut them into thin slices or half-moons, depending on your preference. This allows for quicker cooking and better absorption of flavors.
2. Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Allow it to warm up for a few minutes.
3. Add the Oil: Once the skillet is hot, add vegetable oil. Make sure to coat the surface of the skillet evenly.
4. Cook the Zucchini: Place the sliced zucchinis onto the skillet in a single layer. Don’t overcrowd; you may need to do this in batches. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until they start to soften and develop a nice char.
5. Add Garlic: Sprinkle the minced garlic over the zucchini and stir well. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the garlic to release its flavor.
6. Season with Soy Sauce: Drizzle in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss the zucchinis to ensure they’re evenly coated. Continue cooking for about 2-3 more minutes.
7. Check Doneness: The zucchini should be tender yet slightly crisp. Remove from heat when done.
8. Garnish: Transfer the cooked zucchini to a serving dish. Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top as a garnish.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Hibachi Zucchini while it’s hot and fresh!
