Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Zucchini 1 (200g)
  • Butter 10g
  • Garlic 1 clove

Seasonings

  • [A] Soy Sauce 2 tsp
  • [A] Worcestershire Sauce 1 tsp
  • [A] Sake 1 tsp
  • [A] MSG(Ajinomoto) 3 dashes
  • Black Pepper to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • Salt to taste

Steps

  1. Peel the garlic and slice 1 clove into rounds.
  2. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and make shallow crosshatch cuts on the cut sides. [Pro Tip!] Making crosshatch cuts helps the zucchini cook faster and absorb flavor better.
  3. Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper to taste on the surface of the zucchini.
  4. Put 10g butter in a frying pan and heat over medium heat.
  5. Once the butter has melted, sauté the sliced garlic.
  6. When the garlic turns brown and becomes crispy garlic chips, remove them. [Pro Tip!] In vegetable dishes without meat, the aroma of garlic evokes the umami of meat, enhancing satisfaction.
  7. In the same frying pan, place the cut side of the crosshatch-cut zucchini down and sear.
  8. Once the zucchini has a nice sear on its surface, cover and steam-fry over medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes. [Pro Tip!] Steam-frying ensures the zucchini is thoroughly cooked and remains juicy inside.
  9. Add 2 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp sake, and 3 dashes MSG(Ajinomoto) to the steam-fried zucchini.
  10. Simmer the sauce until it thickens, coating the zucchini. [Pro Tip!] Reducing the sauce concentrates the flavors, and the spice of Worcestershire sauce adds a rich depth.
  11. Plate the zucchini, sprinkle with the reserved garlic chips and black pepper to taste, and serve.
