Begin by washing the zucchinis under cool running water. Trim the ends, then slice them into thin rounds or half-moons.

Set a large skillet over medium heat and add about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers.

Carefully add the minced garlic to the hot skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and lightly golden.

Now, add the prepared zucchini to the skillet, gently stirring to coat them in the garlicky oil. Allow them to cook for 5-7 minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar until well combined.

Pour the prepared sauce over the sautéed zucchini in the skillet. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly.

Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer your vibrant Tasty Asian Zucchini Side to a serving plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
