Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- zucchini 1 large
- vegetable oil generously
- salt a pinch
- pepper a pinch
- seasoning salt a pinch
- egg 1 (yolk only)
- dressing soy sauce 1 tablespoon
- sesame seeds a pinch
Recipe 🍳
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly, then use a vegetable slicer or grater to slice it into long, even strands resembling noodles.
- Heat generous amounts of vegetable oil in a pan, then add all the sliced zucchini and sauté until tender.
- While sautéing, sprinkle a little salt, pepper, and seasoning salt to taste, adjusting to your preference.
- Transfer the slightly softened zucchini noodles to a serving bowl, place the egg yolk in the center, and finish by drizzling soy sauce and sprinkling sesame seeds.
- Use a vegetable slicer to cut zucchini into long, noodle-like strips.
- Sauté the zucchini slices in oil until golden and crisp.
- Season lightly with salt, pepper, and seasoning salt.
- Serve in a bowl with egg yolk, soy sauce, and sesame seeds on top.
Cooking tips 💡
- Avoid overcooking the zucchini, as it will release too much moisture and lose its crisp texture—remove from heat just as it softens slightly for best results.
- For enhanced flavor, use tamago soy sauce (egg-flavored soy sauce) instead of regular soy sauce—it adds a richer umami depth.
