Stir-fried zucchini with tomatoes: a simple and delicious home-style dish in just a few steps! Recipe steps
**Prepare Ingredients** - Wash the tomatoes, score the top with an X, blanch them in boiling water to remove the skin, then cut them into small pieces and set aside. - Wash the zucchini and slice it thinly (about 3 mm thick, not too thick). - Slice the garlic and chop the scallions.
Heat oil in a pan, then add sliced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
**Sauté Tomatoes** - Add diced tomatoes and sauté over medium-low heat until they release their juices and become soft. - Add a pinch of salt and sugar to the tomatoes and continue to sauté until the flavors are evenly distributed.
**Add Zucchini** - Add the sliced zucchini to the pan and stir-fry quickly over high heat. - Zucchini cooks very quickly; stir-fry until slightly softened, about 2-3 minutes. - Add a little salt to taste and stir-fry evenly.
**Serving and Plating** - Place the stir-fried tomatoes and zucchini on a plate, sprinkle with chopped green onions for garnish, making the dish look fresher and more appealing.
**Tips:** - Choose ripe tomatoes for best results; they'll release more juice and have a sweeter, more tangy flavor. - Don't overcook the zucchini; keeping it crisp and tender is key to its deliciousness! - Add more garlic slices if you prefer a stronger garlic flavor.
