Steps:
- Quarter zucchini lengthwise.
- Slice off the soft seed core; it's ok if some seeds remain.
- Arrange the zucchini, cut side up, on paper towels.
- Sprinkle with salt, set aside for 10 mins.
- Blot the zucchini quarters dry with paper towels.
- Cut quarters into 2 inch lengths.
- Mix soy sauce, hoisin, sherry and sesame oil in a small bowl.
- Heat a wok or large skillet over med-high heat for 1 min.
- Pour in canola/peanut oil; when oil starts to shimmer and ripple (very hot), add zucchini.
- Saute until zucchini browns and softens slightly (don't overcook- it might turn mushy), about 4 mins.
- Add garlic and chilli flakes, saute for about 15 sec.
- Add the sauce mixture, stir and cook just long enough for liquid to reduce and coat the zucchini (about 20 sec).
- Remove from wok, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium-sized zucchini with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that is too large, as it may be tough and seedy.
- Slice the zucchini thinly. This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet. This will help prevent the zucchini from sticking.
- Heat the oil over high heat before adding the zucchini. This will help create a nice sear on the zucchini.
- Stir-fry the zucchini in batches if necessary. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the zucchini will not cook evenly.
- Add the hoisin sauce and other seasonings towards the end of cooking. This will help prevent the sauce from burning.
- Serve the zucchini immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
