Recipe

Cut 1 onion into thick slices, about slightly less than 1 cm, to preserve the desired texture for a main side dish.
Cut 0.5 zucchini into similarly thick slices, about 1 cm, ensuring they don’t break apart.
Place 2 tablespoons of perilla oil in a pan and turn on the heat immediately without preheating the pan.
As soon as the heat is turned on, add the sliced zucchini and sprinkle 2 pinches of salt for seasoning.
Cook over medium heat for about 1 minute until the zucchini turns a darker green.
Once the zucchini color brightens, add the sliced onion and continue stirring for 1 minute to evenly coat with perilla oil.
Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to adjust seasoning and mix well.
As soon as the seasoning is blended, cover the pan and reduce the heat to low, letting it steam gently for 1 minute.
After 1 minute, remove the lid and gently toss the mixture to maintain crispness, then turn off the heat.
Transfer to a serving plate and finish by sprinkling sesame seeds generously.

Slice onions and zucchini into thick pieces, about 1 cm, to retain texture.
Heat perilla oil in a pan, add zucchini and salt, stir-fry over medium heat for 1 minute, then add onions and stir for another minute.
Season with soy sauce, cover the pan, cook over low heat for 1 minute, then sprinkle sesame seeds before serving.

Cooking tips

Avoid slicing vegetables too thin, as they tend to break apart and become soggy during cooking, which compromises texture.
Perilla oil has a low smoke point, so do not preheat the pan—add the oil first, then immediately add ingredients to avoid burning.
Do not prepare large batches at once; storing leftovers in the fridge causes moisture loss from vegetables, reducing flavor. It’s best to cook only what you’ll eat per meal.
