Cooking tips

Keeping the zucchini strips a uniform thickness ensures even cooking and a neat appearance.
Adding 1 tablespoon of water midway prevents burning and cooks the inside tenderly without using too much oil.
If cooked until completely soft, they become mushy and lose flavor, so turn off the heat while there is still a slight crunch; residual heat will finish cooking them perfectly.

Recommended for

Those who want to make a clean, mild vegetable side dish that never gets boring even when eaten daily.
Those who have failed at making zucchini stir-fry because it burned or turned too mushy.
