Cooking tips

  • Slicing zucchini too thin will result in a mushy texture after cooking; slicing too thick will make it soggy. A thickness of 0.3–0.4cm is ideal.
  • Grilling without oil allows moisture to evaporate, intensifying the zucchini’s natural sweetness and enhancing the shiitake mushrooms’ chewy texture.
  • Always dissolve sugar in the anchovy sauce first when making the dressing—this ensures even seasoning and prevents the dressing from separating or tasting uneven.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to try a unique, chewy zucchini side dish beyond stir-fries or stews.
  • People looking for healthy recipes that minimize oil while highlighting the clean, naturally sweet flavors of ingredients.
  • Anyone needing a flavorful, savory, spicy-sweet side dish that perfectly complements rice and boosts appetite.
