Zucchini Pan Fry

This is an easy healthy recipe you can eat anytime just like a snack or also as a side dish.

FYI: The zucchini vegetable is low in calories (approximately 15 food calories per 100 g fresh zucchini) and contains useful amounts of folate (24 mcg/100 g), potassium (280 mg/100 g) and vitamin A (384 IU [115 mcg]/100 g. 1/2 cup of zucchini also contains 19% of the recommended amount of manganese.

Ingredients:
Zucchini - 4 tender banana sized ones
Garlic - 1 Tbsp chopped
Red pepper flakes - 1 tsp
Dark Soy sauce - 1 Tbsp
Oil - 1 tsp
Salt - 1/2 tsp (according to your taste)

Method:

• Cut the zucchinis into half and then slice each piece length wise into 4 slices of 1cm thickness approx.
• In a wide pan that can accomadate all the slices to be spread, add the oil and place the slices one after another. Let the vegetable cook nice and brown on one side and be patient to flip each one of them and let the other side also brown.
• Finally add salt, chopped garlic, red pepper flakes, soy sauce and keep flipping until all flavours are absorbed by the zucchini. Garlic need not be cooked all through.
• I dont like zucchini well cooked, there has to be a little crunch left in it for the right taste.
• You can make this dish a full meal by adding your other favourite vegetables along with the zucchini with some cooked rice or noodles.
