Japanese Zucchini and Onions

This recipe is really quick to make.  The most time consuming part of this recipe is peeling the zucchini into strips.  It tastes great on it's own.  You can easily halve this recipe.

I adapted it from a recipe I found at AllRecipes.com.  I added garlic, omitted the teriyaki sauce and increased the soya sauce.
