A unique side dish made by tossing roasted zucchini and sweetly caramelized onions in a tangy, sweet soy sauce dressing without oil

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When roasting zucchini, keep it at 0.3cm thickness—too thick makes it chewy, too thin causes loss of texture.
  • Cook onion over medium heat for a long time until the exterior turns crisp and dark brown, which reduces spiciness and maximizes sweetness.
  • When mixing vegetables, avoid pressing hard as this releases juice and makes the dish soggy; instead, gently fold with fingertips to maintain shape and crunch.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to try a new cooking method instead of the usual stir-fried zucchini recipes.
  • People seeking a salty-sweet vegetable side dish perfect for summer appetite stimulation.
  • Anyone wanting a crisp, non-watery seasoned vegetable salad with lasting crunch.
