Ingredients

1 Zucchini (12 oz, 340 g; or substitute yellow or pattypan squash)
1 ear Sweet corn (12.2 oz, 345 g with husks; or substitute with 1 cup of frozen or drained canned corn)
1 tbsp Neutral oil
1 Clove Garlic
1/2 tbsp Unsalted butter (omit for vegan)

Seasonings

2 tsp ORGANIC MISO RED
1 tsp Soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce for GF)
1 tsp Sugar
2 tbsp Water

Instructions

To Prepare the Ingredients

Wrap a wet paper towel around the sweetcorn (you can leave the husks on) and cook in the microwave for 2 minutes (1000W).
Carefully remove the paper towel, husks, and silk from the hot ear of corn. With a knife, cut off the corn kernels from the cob.
Cut the zucchini into thirds (sections about 2 inches or 5 cm long). Cut each piece in half lengthwise, then cut each half lengthwise into 3 wedges.

To Mix the Seasonings

Combine the miso, soy sauce, sugar, and water. Mix it all together until the miso and sugar dissolve. Set aside.

To Stir-Fry

Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat. When it‘s hot, add 1 tbsp neutral oil. Then, add the zucchini and quickly sear on medium-high or high heat until nicely browned on the edges.
Tip: The goal is to sear the zucchini fast so it remains firm yet tender. If the heat is too low, the zucchini will wilt and get mushy before it browns.
Once browned, lower the heat. Mince or press 1 clove garlic (I use a garlic press) and add it to the pan. Toss to cook briefly and keep the garlic from burning. Then, add the corn kernels and stir quickly to reheat.
Add the seasonings mixture and ½ tbsp unsalted butter.
Toss quickly to coat. Your Zucchini Corn stir-fry is now ready to serve.

To Store

Transfer the leftovers to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for 3–4 days or in the freezer for 1 month.
