# Étapes de réalisation:
01 -
Cut zucchini into 6 wedges from 2-inch sections. These small pieces soak up flavors easily.
02 -
Heat up oil in a big skillet on medium-high until it starts to shimmer. This sets the stage for the dish.
03 -
Toss your zucchini pieces and onion chunks into the hot skillet. Let them cook and soften for 2 minutes as they start to release aroma.

Add soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. The mixture will bubble and coat everything with a sweet and savory glaze.
05 -
Stir every so often and keep cooking for 4-5 minutes. Cook zucchini to a firmness you enjoy—crisp or soft, it’s up to you.
06 -
Sprinkle over sesame seeds for a nutty crunch before serving. Stir in butter at the end if you’d like a richer finish.
