Japanese-style zucchini

4 servings

20 minutes

Nothing complicated, just zucchini with a typical Japanese cuisine set of ingredients: teriyaki sauce, chili pepper, soy sauce and sesame seeds. True, they almost do not need cooking: only 2 minutes are allotted for heat treatment. They are very similar to smashed cucumbers, but with their own unique flavor.
