Delicious flavor, although the size of the zucchini pieces was entirely too large for my taste. I cut them smaller and used the juice from 1/2 a fresh lemon instead of 1 T. as called for.

I loved it! Easy and tasty, too. For 4 small zucchinis I used 1 teaspoon flour and I also halfed the soy sauce. The result was a lemony taste side dish, to go along with a burger I had. Now I have one more great side dish for the summer! Thanks for sharing!

Another great way to eat zucchini! I really liked the lemon 'n soy sauce. I like my zucchini firm so I turned the heat up high to brown the zucchini quickly without it going to soft. Thanks for sharing, reviewed for ZWT3.

Wow, this recipe was really quick and easy, and the zucchini had a lovely tangy taste. The soy and lemon mixed nicely with the browned butter taste. Thanks for posting.
