Main Ingredients- 1.5 Zucchinis
- 1 serving Somyeon (thin wheat noodles)
- 1/4 stalk Green Onion
- A little Perilla Oil
Seasoning Ingredients- 1/2 Tbsp Salt
- 1/3 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 tsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 1/2 Tbsp Salt
- 1/3 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 tsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the zucchinis thoroughly and trim the bumpy skin slightly. Then, slice them diagonally and julienne them thinly. Slice the green onion diagonally as well.
Step 2
Heat a pan and add a generous amount of perilla oil. Add the julienned zucchini and stir-fry over medium heat, being careful not to burn it. Once the zucchini becomes slightly translucent, add the sliced green onion and stir-fry together. Cook just until the green onion softens.
Step 3
Once the zucchini and green onion are sautéed, add the seasoning ingredients: 1/2 Tbsp salt, 1/3 Tbsp minced garlic, and 1 tsp gochugaru. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the seasonings are well combined and coat the zucchini. This allows the flavors to meld.
Step 4
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water. Add 1 serving of somyeon noodles and cook. Stir gently to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Cook according to package directions, or for about 3-4 minutes, until al dente. Immediately drain the cooked noodles and rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, making them chewy and firm. Drain well.
Step 5
Arrange the drained somyeon noodles in a serving bowl. Generously top with the sautéed zucchini mixture. Finally, drizzle with 1 Tbsp sesame oil and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds for a fragrant and delicious finish. Your zucchini noodles are ready to enjoy!
