A delightful and quick stir-fry featuring zucchini and onions, enhanced with a savory soy-based sauce and a touch of sesame.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onions from burning.
Add the zucchini slices to the skillet and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Cut the zucchini into even slices for uniform cooking.
Pour in the soy sauce and teriyaki sauce, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly.
Mix the sauces beforehand for a more even distribution.
Cook until the zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp, about 3 minutes.
Avoid overcooking to maintain the zucchini's texture.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and ground black pepper before serving.
Toast the sesame seeds for a nuttier flavor.
