What a great way to use up some of the zucchini in my garden. I used sesame oil and added some minced garlic and Asian seasoning. I will be making this often. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe, Rita. Made for July, 2008 Bevy Tag.

Delicious Dish! I added a little bit of ginger and garlic powder. This is a dish I will repeat preparing for my family. Quick and Easy! Prepared for January 2008 Photo Swap.

Was a thinking it wasn't going to need sugar, but it really gave it a lovely flavor without tasting "sweet". Great side dish!!! Will make again. I used the garlic too. Next time might use fresh green beans!

I loved this, I used Splenda and soy sauce. Tasty quick side dish, thanks for sharing.

I really enjoyed this - except - that was way too much salt. I will no doubt make this again but cut back to maybe a half a teaspoon (instead of 1 1/2). More salt could be added later if someone wanted it. My picky teen son ate several bites of this - and liked it much better than regular squash.
