- Wash 2 medium zucchini. Slice into 1/4-inch thick half-moons or julienne.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil (vegetable or canola) with a pinch of salt in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the prepared cucumber and wood ear mushrooms (if using). Stir-fry for 1 minute.
- Add the zucchini. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon water.
- Pour the sauce over the vegetables. Stir-fry for 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
