Is stir-fry zucchini a popular dish in China? As I only had this dish at my Chinese friends house. At first I was not used to it but I grow to like them cooked in this way. They usually cook it plain but I added minced shrimps into my variation. I tried to recreate this dish at home as in slicing the zucchini in the similar way. Slicing it thinly really makes it nicer to eat.
This dish is easy as well, only three main ingredients needed, minced shrimps (made from 6 jumbo shrimps), 2 zucchinis and 2 cloves of garlic, chopped. As for the sauces for this, I used LKK hot bean paste, dash of salt and chicken stock granules (optional). This dish would be as good without the hot bean paste too, keep it simple. My stir-fry dishes tend to be fairly easy, only the slicing and preparing part took a while.
Here, I presented you with a new dish to cook for your family (if you never have zucchini cook in this way before) and I hope you enjoy this dish just like we did.

Tigerfish, almost but we don't like stir-fry cucumber, it turns soft.
Daphne, it's good with chicken or meat too!
Thanks Mikky. Can substitute but I'm not sure how it will turn out.
Beachlover, I hope your neighbor will give you her impressive zucchini again. If not, buy zucchini in Asian store for a whole lot cheaper.
Thanks sweet jasmine, yes you should try, it's surprisingly good. Good in curry vegetable too!
Hi,
This looks awesome! Never knew what to do with zucchinis other than for salad.
Thanks for sharing!
I like stir fry zucchini with shrimps too. I just add some oyster sauce, garlic, onion and chilies. Sometimes with a bit rice noodles.
I do a version which uses dried shrimp (soak) and sohun (bean thread vermicelli). Fried with just minced garlic, salt, soy sauce and pepper. My take of another dish which uses cucumber / gourd which is curiously known as "tai yee ma kar lui" (1st aunt marries off daughter)
