Sautéed zucchini, squash, mushrooms, and onions are cooked to perfection with a blend of butter, oil, and soy sauce, creating a smoky, caramelized finish. Ready in under 15 minutes, this dish is a perfect side for hibachi rice, steak, shrimp, or chicken.


Ingredients

  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 yellow squash, sliced
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp oil (avocado or vegetable)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat butter and oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Sauté the Onion: Add sliced onion and cook until slightly translucent.
  3. Cook the Vegetables: Add zucchini, squash, and mushrooms. Stir frequently.
  4. Season & Finish: Stir in soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook until vegetables reach desired tenderness.

Notes

  • For best results, use high heat to achieve a good sear.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming instead of caramelizing.
  • Use tamari or coconut aminos as a gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
