Korean Stir Fried Zucchini
I have a great love for Korean food. Just about everything I’ve come across has been a hit, but I’ve always been fascinated with their side dishes (ban-chan). So much variety, and when you eat at Korean restaurants, they’re free. Well, we’ve not been eating out, so we have to make them ourselves.
This stir-fried zucchini dish is simple, but nutritious and great hot or cold.
