garlic 2 cloves

shrimp paste 1 spoon

vegetable oil 1 spoon

salt 2 pinches

Recipe

Slice squash into half-moon shapes, marinate in minced shrimp paste for 15 minutes, and prepare vegetables.
In a pan, add vegetable oil, squash, and mirin; stir-fry, then add mushrooms, carrot, garlic, and water; cover and cook.
Stir-fry over high heat to evaporate moisture, adjust seasoning with salt, mix in sesame oil, cool, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Cooking tips

Marinating the squash in shrimp paste first draws out moisture, preventing it from breaking apart while cooking and allowing the flavor to penetrate deeply.
Adding a small amount of water during cooking prevents the squash and mushrooms from burning and keeps them moist and tender.
Sprinkling sesame seeds on hot food causes their aroma to dissipate quickly, so it's best to spread the dish on a plate and cool it completely for 20 minutes before adding the seeds.

Recommended for
