This side has been in permanent rotation at our house. When summer hits, zucchini and summer squash are constants on our dinner table. Economical and easy to make, I can’t get enough of them. With soy sauce and sesame oil, zucchini takes on a buttery, perfectly spiced flavor that goes as well with grilled pork chops, as it would hamburgers. Try it this week. You won’t be disappointed.
