Zucchini Side Dish – Korean Style

15 min prep time, 5 min cooking time, serve 4 people

Zucchini is a vegetable, usually cooked and eaten as a savory dish or accompaniment. To make it more flavorful we can use different spices. One side dish made of zucchini is the Korean zucchini side dish, or Hobak Namul.“Hobak” means zucchini, and “namul” means vegetable side dish. This dish is best made with Korean zucchini, however North American zucchini works too and is just as delicious! It can be served by itself or as a side dish. I prefer to eat it with rice and a various types of meats mixed in with the stir fry.
