Want a zucchini recipe that will knock your socks off? This tangy Asian inspired dish is it! Salty sweet with a little bit of heat and that unassuming vegetable is now the star of the show!
My older sister makes a fabulous version of this with beans but my family doesn’t prefer beans. Zucchini, on the other hand, is a popular vegetable in this house and I find a way to include it in most meals. Korean cooking utilizes zucchini as well, but this recipes takes it up a notch! Give it a try.
