Hot & Sour Zucchini

I don’t know of many ways of cooking zucchini. But of the very few that I do, this recipe tops my list. The tangy and spicy combination is totally in sync with the hint of bitterness that comes from the vegetable’s natural juices. So try not to get too imtimidated by its intensity and give a shot at this recipe. I guarantee you will be never see the zucchini in the same light ever again!
