Instructions
Wash and cut
Rinse the zucchini and scallion under cool running water, dry, and cut on a clean board.
Time: 6 minutes
Look and feel: Produce is clean, dry, and evenly cut.
Safety: Keep clean produce away from raw-meat and seafood tools.
Salt briefly
Toss zucchini with salt in a colander and rest 5 minutes, then blot released moisture without rinsing.

Look and feel: Slices bend slightly but remain firm.
Safety: Use a clean colander and towels.
Check the seasoning
Read the saeujeot label for shellfish and other allergens, then finely chop with a clean utensil.
Time: 2 minutes
Look and feel: The exact allergen statement is known.
Safety: Saeujeot contains shellfish; use salt instead only as a documented adaptation.
Start the stir-fry
Heat oil over medium-high, add zucchini, and stir-fry until bright and beginning to soften.
Time: 3 minutesTemperature: Medium-high
Look and feel: Edges turn translucent while centers remain firm.
Safety: Keep the skillet handle turned inward.
Season and finish
Add garlic, saeujeot, and scallion; stir-fry until just tender, then remove from heat and add sesame oil and seeds.
Time: 3 to 4 minutesTemperature: Medium-high
Look and feel: Zucchini is tender-crisp, not watery or mushy.
Safety: Cook fermented shrimp seasoning through the hot dish and avoid splatter.
Serve or chill
Transfer to a clean dish, rest 5 minutes, and serve warm or cool.
