Vegetarian Shoyu Glazed Zucchini side dish zucchini recipe Japanese-inspired soy sauce honey sesame oil

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined. Set the glaze aside.

  2. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Once the pan is hot, add the zucchini rounds in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are lightly browned and tender.

  3. Once the zucchini is cooked to your liking, pour the prepared glaze over the zucchini in the pan. Toss the zucchini gently to coat them evenly with the glaze.

  4. Allow the zucchini to simmer in the glaze for an additional minute or two, allowing the flavors to meld together and the zucchini to absorb the delicious sauce.

  5. Once the zucchini is nicely glazed and tender, remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the glazed zucchinis to a serving platter.

  6. To garnish, sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top of the glazed zucchini for an extra burst of flavor and a pop of color.

  7. Serve the Shoyu Glazed Zucchini warm as a side dish alongside your favorite main course. Enjoy the balance of sweet and savory flavors in every bite!
