Loved this! I am familiar with making zucchini this way but I've always used olive oil. Sauteeing the squash in butter, however, really aided in the browning factor and gave this a wonderful, rich color. I used a combo of zucchini and yellow squash, fresh garlic rather than garlic powder, and just used the soy sauce and toasted sesame seeds to taste. Very nice presentation and great flavor.
It seemed it was missing something. After reading all the reviews I did as another member had suggested and drizzled honey over it and BAM! that was the flavor this needed. Sounded strange enough to try and I'm glad I did. The honey worked the sesame seeds too. Will make again this way.
I think people should make the changes they wish and not pan the recipe. If you want changes, just make them. Aseleener need not have bothered to state ALL the changes she would have made. It was obviously not for her; so just don't make it, for Heaven's sake! Food is a personal thing; cooks have their own preferences. Constructive suggestions are fine, but this review was over the top... or should I say below the belt?
Excellent recipe! I have made this with a mixture of zucchini, squash, onions & carrots. They all tasted great, but be careful to not overcook! Have used this recipe several times & it is a favorite
Sorry I have multiple issues with this recipe. I don't think 1 zucchini is enough to make 4 servings. I guess it depends on the size but I would use 2 medium instead. Secondly why does the ingredient list say to divide the soy sauce? The directions have you put it in all at once. Thirdly that's too much soy sauce. I would use 1 tbsp. Instead of using garlic powder I would use 1 clove fresh garlic and also some fresh grated ginger. I would also use olive oil instead of the butter. Also I think 2 tbsp sesame seeds is too much; 1 tbsp would suffice. As written this ends up way too salty and is not enough for 4 adults.
Added some onion and sesame oil to this along with a few seasonings. Very good and enjoyed by all. Thanks!
Excellent! I used 2 cloves minced garlic and only I TB seasame seeds. A big hit.
very tasty. used sesame oil instead of butter. this is a nice change to plain zucchini sides. a keeper.
Overall a good recipe - not great but good. I quartered the zucchini lengthwise and cooked it as directed (made an interesting presentation). I used fresh garlic and added 2 tsp of honey when adding the soy sauce as others suggested.
