Though we have lots of famous meat dishes in Chinese cuisine, we pay more attention to vegetables on our daily table. Zucchini is a new member to Chinese vegetables with only a history less than 10 years. We have a similar specie which is dark green and round, usually shredded and simply stir fried with garlic. But Zucchini has obtained the popularity quickly in recently. And my favorite way to cook this lovely vegetable is to make a basic salad.

    I am a little confused.
    How much oil do you heat up with the garlic? The only oil in the recipe is the sesame oil in the sauce. Is that the oil you heat up? The picture looks like a neutral oil, and more than 1 tablespoon, it looks like a few tablespoons.
