Instructions

1 In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil
and honey. Set aside.
2 Slice the zucchinis into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniform thickness for even
cooking.
3 Heat sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger,
and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds to 1
minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4 Add the sliced zucchini to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, tossing
occasionally until the zucchini starts to soften but still retains a bit of
crunch.
5 Pour the sauce mixture over the zucchini. Stir well to ensure each piece is
evenly coated. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken
slightly and cling to the zucchini.
6 Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the sesame seeds and the green parts of
the green onions over the zucchini.
7 Garnish with cilantro if using, and serve immediately as a side dish, or over
steamed rice or noodles for a light main course.
