Cooking tips
- Cutting zucchini in a jagged, skipping motion helps prevent it from breaking apart during stir-frying, preserving its firm, crisp texture.
- Marinating with salt and shrimp paste before cooking allows the flavors to penetrate deep into the zucchini, doubling the savory depth.
- No sugar is needed—the natural sweetness from the onions and zucchini shines through, resulting in a clean, refreshing, and satisfying taste.
Recommended for
- Those who struggle with zucchini that turns soggy or mushy when stir-fried.
- People looking for a simple-to-prep side dish with deep umami flavor.
- Anyone wanting to fully enjoy the natural sweetness and crisp texture of fresh zucchini.
