asian style zucchini

i am addicted to japanese food. like, badly. so when i found a recipe of how to make asian style zucchini at home (which is often my favorite part of the meal), i jumped on it. it doesn't take EXACTLY like hibachi... i need some ginger sauce to throw on it... (i need to find a recipe for homemade ginger sauce... someone remind me of that later...) but this recipe is very delicious!!

ingredients:
1 teaspoon butter
1 large zucchini, cut into 1 inch slices OR cubed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
garlic powder to taste
ground black pepper to taste

directions:
1. melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.

2. stir in the zucchini.

3. cook zucchini until lightly browned.

4. sprinkle with soy sauce and sesame seeds.

5. season with garlic powder and pepper.

6. continue cooking until zucchini is well coated and tender.

this would be a great side item to any kind of fried rice or stir-fry. i wouldn't know how it keeps for leftovers because they were all GONE. i can't wait to make more. :)
