Submitted by Mudflower

"Savory and quick vegetable side. This is one of those I threw together to use up an abundance of produce from the farmer's market, and it happened to be a hit :)"

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 3

ingredients

• 2 cups zucchini, very thinly sliced into discs
• 2 cups shitake mushrooms, stems removed and tops diced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

directions

1. Melt butter in a large skillet. Add mushrooms and saute until deep brown, about 7 minutes.
2. Add garlic and saute another 2 minutes.
3. Add zucchini, 2 T. soy sauce, and 1 T. water. Saute until zucchini is tender and becoming translucent.
4. In a small bowl, mix (scant) 1 T. cornstarch and 1 T. soy sauce. Pour over vegetables and mix quickly. This will thicken up quickly. (Add a bit of water if needed to help the sauce flow a bit.).

Sounds pretty basic and easy enough. I've used this approach for other veggies and it's consistently delicious, perhaps with the addition of a teaspoon of sesame oil. Just wanted to mention that it would be nice if you listed the cornstarch in the list of required ingredients.
