Zucchini Teriyaki Dish (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Veggies

01 - 1 medium sweet onion, roughly chopped
02 - 3 medium zucchini

→ Saucy Mix

03 - 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
04 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
05 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

→ Flavor Hits

06 - 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted for extra crunch
07 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
08 - 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, tweak for your own spice level

→ Optional Extras

09 - 1 tablespoon butter, stirred in at the end for a creamy finish

# Instructions:

01 - Chop each zucchini into 2-inch chunks, then split each chunk into 6 smaller wedges. They'll soak up all the flavor perfectly.
02 - Heat vegetable oil in a big, nonstick pan on medium-high until it's shiny and ready to work its magic.
03 - Toss in the zucchini slices along with the onion. Let them sizzle and soften for about 2 minutes.
04 - Mix in soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, pepper flakes, and black pepper. Watch as the sauces coat everything in a sticky, glossy layer.
05 - Let it all cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring now and then, till the zucchini's either lightly crisp or super soft—your call!
06 - Turn off the heat. Sprinkle sesame seeds over your dish for a bit of crunch. Toss in butter if you're after a silky twist.

# Notes:

01 - Pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, grilled meats, or simple fish dishes.
02 - Turn it into a full meal by tossing in shrimp, chicken, or tofu while cooking.
