A quick and flavorful stir-fry featuring zucchini and a savory garlic sauce.
Heat the canola oil in a wok over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the wok and stir-fry until fragrant.
Stir constantly to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the sliced zucchini and sprinkle with brown sugar. Stir-fry until the zucchini begins to soften.
Cut the zucchini into even slices for uniform cooking.
Pour in the water and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Cook until the zucchini is tender but still crisp.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the stir-fry hot, garnished with optional sesame seeds or green onions.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
