Introduction
This Namul is finished with a minimalist seasoning of just salt, sesame oil, and toasted white sesame seeds. By slow-cooking the zucchini, you maximize the natural sweetness and savory flavor of the vegetable. It results in a dish that looks like a side from a trendy cafe.
Step 1
Trim both ends of the zucchini and cut into 5mm thick rounds. The key is to achieve a perfect thickness that is neither too thick nor too thin.
Step 2
Add sesame oil (1 tablespoon) to a frying pan, heat over medium heat, and arrange the zucchini slices in the pan, avoiding overlap as much as possible.
Step 3
If any slices are overlapping, swap their positions with chopsticks occasionally to ensure they cook evenly. Sauté slowly over medium heat for 3–4 minutes.
Step 4
Once the zucchini has shrunk slightly and developed a beautiful golden-brown color, flip the slices over. Cook the other side briefly for 1–2 minutes.
Step 5
Once both sides are browned, turn off the heat. If you are concerned about excess oil or moisture, lightly wipe the pan with a paper towel.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Cooking zucchini slowly in oil draws out moisture, concentrating its sweetness and umami, making it taste dramatically better. 🔥
When cooking, arrange slices to avoid overlapping as much as possible, or swap their positions during cooking to ensure even browning. 🍳
For the finishing touch, crush the toasted white sesame seeds between your fingers as you sprinkle them to instantly release their aroma. ✨
