Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 1/2 tbsp lower-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 3 medium zucchini, cut into (2-by-3/4-inch) wedges
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 3 scallions, green parts only cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1/3 cup)

Instructions

  1. Combine ginger, soy sauce, Sriracha, honey and cornstarch in a small bowl; stir well.
  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Add zucchini in a single layer; cook, undisturbed, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add water; cook, covered, until the zucchini is bright green and tender, about 2 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and add the ginger mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat; drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with scallions. Toss to combine.
