Steps
- For the addictive raw zucchini dish, trim the ends of 1 zucchini, then cut it in half.
- Slice the zucchini thinly, about 2-3mm thick.
- Place the sliced zucchini in a bowl, add 1/3 tsp salt, and rub to coat. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, rinse the softened zucchini under water and squeeze out any excess moisture thoroughly.
- In a bowl, combine 1 tsp Chinese Soup Paste (Shantan), 1 tsp Soy Sauce, 1 tsp Grated Garlic, 1 tsp Sesame Oil, and 1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds. Mix well.
- Add the squeezed zucchini to the seasoning mixture and toss to coat. Add Ichimi Togarashi or Chili Oil for spiciness, if desired. (Key Tip!) Zucchini can be deliciously enjoyed raw without cooking. Salting and squeezing draws out moisture, resulting in a fresh, crisp texture.
- Prepare the sauce for the meat-wrapped zucchini. In a separate bowl, combine 1 tbsp Soy Sauce, 1.5 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), 1 tsp Sugar, 0.5 tsp Grated Garlic, and 0.5 tsp Grated Ginger. Mix well.
- For the meat-wrapped zucchini, trim the ends of 1 zucchini and cut it into two pieces to match the width of the pork loin slices.
- Cut the halved zucchini pieces in half again, and then slice them diagonally to a manageable size.
- Lightly dust the surface of the thinly sliced pork loin with Potato Starch, then wrap the sliced zucchini pieces snugly with the pork.
- Once the pork is wrapped around the zucchini, lightly press the seam to secure it, then lightly dust the entire surface with Potato Starch.
- Heat Vegetable Oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the meat-wrapped zucchini seam-side down in the pan. (Key Tip!) Starting with the seam down helps the pork stick firmly and enclose the zucchini.
- Once both sides are nicely browned, flip and continue to cook, searing all around.
- Once the pork is mostly cooked through, cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and steam-cook to ensure the zucchini is fully tender.
- When the zucchini and pork are cooked through, remove them from the pan. Repeat with the remaining meat wraps.
- After all meat wraps are cooked, return them to the frying pan.
- Lightly season all the meat wraps in the pan with Salt and Pepper.
- Add the prepared sauce mixture ([A]) to the pan and toss to coat the meat wraps evenly.
- Once the sauce has coated everything, turn off the heat. Plate the meat-wrapped zucchini to serve. Enjoy!
