There are many ways to cook zucchini, making it a very flexible and tasty vegetable that can hold its own against meat in terms of flavor and comfort. The flavorful zucchini is shown in this recipe:
A Soy Sauce and Garlic Stir-Fry with Mushrooms and Zucchini
Things needed:
2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
1 cup of sliced mushrooms and 2 minced garlic cloves
2 tablespoons of gluten-free soy sauce (or tamari)
Oyster sauce, if desired, 1 tablespoon
1/4 cup sesame oil or equivalent
Using vegetable or olive oil, measure 1 tablespoon.
Optional seasonings: salt & pepper
For the garnish, cut some green onions.
Prepared noodles or rice, ready to be served
Here are the steps:
Get the Mushrooms and Zucchini Ready:
In a big wok or pan set over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil or vegetable oil.
If you want to add some garlic aroma, mince some garlic and sauté it for 30 seconds.
Toss the Vegetables Soup Style:
Toss in the zucchini slices in the pan. When they begin to soften, stir-fry for three to four minutes.
Incorporate Mushrooms: Toss in some sliced mushrooms with the zucchinis in the pan. Continue to stir-fry for an additional three to four minutes, or until the zucchinis are cooked and the mushrooms are soft.
Prepare the Before to stir-frying, coat the veggies with soy sauce, tamari, or oyster sauce, depending on your preference. Mix until evenly coated.
Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Soy sauce is already rather salty, so use caution when seasoning with salt.
The last step before serving is to drizzle the stir-fry with sesame oil and mix everything together.
Take it off the stove and top it up with some chopped green onions.
To serve, top cooked rice or noodles with the stir-fried zucchini and mushrooms.
Some pointers:
Different forms: To make it a heartier meal, add some protein like chicken, shrimp, or tofu.

Toss in some snow peas or bean sprouts towards the end of cooking for extra crunch and freshness.
