Seasoning Ingredients- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp tuna extract (fish sauce)
- 1 Tbsp plum extract (or syrup)
- 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil (deulgireum)
- Pinch of toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- Chopped green onion to taste
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp tuna extract (fish sauce)
- 1 Tbsp plum extract (or syrup)

- Pinch of toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tsp minced garlic

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the zucchini thoroughly under running water. Then, slice it into approximately 0.8cm thick rounds. Aim for a consistent thickness so they cook evenly. Slicing them too thin might cause them to break apart during cooking.
Step 2
Place the sliced zucchini onto a dry, preheated non-stick pan. Grill over medium-low heat until both sides are golden brown and slightly tender. The zucchini will release some moisture, which helps prevent sticking, but keep an eye on the heat to avoid burning for the best flavor.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the delicious seasoning sauce! In a bowl, combine 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp tuna extract, 1 Tbsp plum extract, 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes, 1 Tbsp perilla oil, a pinch of toasted sesame seeds, 1 tsp minced garlic, and the chopped green onions. Mix all ingredients well until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Arrange the grilled zucchini on a serving plate. Drizzle the prepared seasoning sauce evenly over the zucchini. Gently toss using chopsticks or a spatula to ensure the sauce coats each slice. This helps the flavors meld beautifully. Feel free to adjust the amount of sauce based on the quantity of zucchini you’ve prepared and your personal preference. Your delightful grilled zucchini is now ready to enjoy!
