I want to thank you for the recipes. Is it just me or is it hard to get diabetic recipes.

If you have eaten this in Japanese restaurants you will find this to be a good copy of the dish. Enjoy.

I already know just how good this is going to taste. My local Japanese take out spot uses zucchini and onion as a side dish for all of their combo dinners. It is the teriyaki sauce that makes this wonderful. It adds a truly unique flavor with the zucchini. A wonderful idea for a side dish!
