Yellow squash cooks fast so timing is very important. Do not overcook as they will turn too soft, mushy and watery.

A perfectly sauteed yellow squash should retain crispness and a bite, so a quick minute or two in the saute pan is the expected cooking time. Enjoy!

  1. Squash I love to stir-fry them. I always put just a pinch of garlic powered in mine.
    Yellow squash I don’t think that I have ever seen them for sale NZ. Must ask around the garden centers to see if I can get some seeds.
