  • Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, salt them lightly, and let them sit under a weight for about two hours. While they drain, finely julienne the carrots and salt them too, and cut the bell pepper into thin strips. Slice the onion into thin half-rings and sauté it in vegetable oil. Once the zucchini have released their liquid, drain it off and add the onion, bell pepper, carrot, ground red pepper, black pepper, and finely minced garlic, along with the sesame oil, sesame seeds, sugar, and soy sauce. Toss everything together well, add the vinegar, and mix again. Finally, chill the salad in the refrigerator for an hour so the flavors can meld.
