Recipe
Cooking tips
- Pre-marinating zucchini in shrimp paste and soy sauce uses osmotic pressure to firm up the flesh, preventing it from falling apart during cooking.
- If fresh shrimp is unavailable, thawed frozen cocktail shrimp works just as wellโcost-effective and convenient.
- Adding onion helps neutralize zucchiniโs raw scent and greasiness while enhancing natural savoriness.
- Leaving the dish in the pot after cooking causes it to soften due to residual heat. Always transfer it to a wide plate immediately to cool quickly and preserve crispness.
Recommended for
- Those who struggle with zucchini turning mushy or breaking apart every time they stir-fry it.
- People eager to enjoy a deeply savory, refreshing side dish made with shrimp paste and whole shrimp.
- Those seeking a neat, refined Korean side dish perfect for parents or special guests.
