Slice the zucchini into medium-thick strips.

Sprinkle 2 pinches of salt over the zucchini and let it sit to draw out moisture.

Chop the green onion and chili into small pieces.

Heat oil in a pan and sauté the green onion, chili, and minced garlic until fragrant.

Squeeze excess moisture from the zucchini and stir-fry it in the pan until tender. Let it cool slightly.

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, lemon juice, sesame oil, and sesame seeds until sugar dissolves.

Cook the somen noodles in boiling water, rinse with cold water, and drain well.

Combine the noodles with the sauce and mix well. Add the stir-fried zucchini and toss to combine.
