I thought of this recipe because I wanted to combine zucchini, an ingredient typically found in Western cooking, with Japanese-style cooking.

If you crush these atsuage up a little while stir-frying, the flavors will blend better.
I used 2x concentrated mentsuyu. If you're using the straight type then please increase the amount of soy sauce a little. Recipe by Raby
