Stir-fried Zucchini Slice Recipe

Introduction to the Stir-fried Zucchini Slice Recipe:

The zucchini is an immature summer squash, which is very tender. Even the seeds are so tender that they can be edible. So you don’t have to remove the seeds like when you do the mature ones.

Another reason I love zucchini is that it is easy to cook. It takes even less time for zucchini slice to get done than for cucumber slices. I prefer to chopping it into slices than shreds because of two reasons. The first one is that it is simpler and less time consuming to slice it. The second reason is that shreds might have more nutrients lost.

Cooking Tips:

1. There is one issue that is frustrating when it comes to cooking zucchini recipe, i.e. soup. As you are cooking, you will find that the soup is accumulating gradually. Therefore, it is recommended to add in the salt as late as possible before serving on a plate.

There is another solution to this, you can mix some starch (blended with water) into it to thicken the soup.
