Kim Dae-seok's Water-Stir-Fried Zucchini

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Cooking with only 2 tablespoons of water and no oil keeps the dish non-greasy and preserves the fresh, bright color of the vegetables beautifully.
• Marinating the zucchini in fish sauce for 10 minutes allows osmotic pressure to draw out a little moisture, helping it stay firm and crisp when stir-fried over high heat.
• Leaving the hot zucchini in the pan after cooking will cause it to overcook and become mushy. It’s essential to immediately transfer it to a wide, cool plate and spread it out to cool briefly in the air.
