Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoons white pepper
- 1 stalk green onion
Directions
Step 1
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Finely chop the green onion and set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and water. Stir until combined and set aside.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic. Stir-fry for 15-20 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 6
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the zucchini starts to soften but remains slightly crisp.
Step 7
Pour the sauce mixture over the zucchini and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 8
Sprinkle the white pepper over the zucchini and give one final stir. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Step 9
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onion.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish with steamed rice or your favorite protein.
