Aehobak (Korean: 애호박; Korean pronunciation: [ɛ.ɦo.bak]), also called Korean zucchini,[1] is the edible, green to yellow-green summer squash of Cucurbita moschata,[2] commonly used in Korean cuisine. An aehobak has the shape of zucchini, but has thinner, smoother skin and more delicate flesh.[3] It is usually sold in shrink-wrapped plastic.[3]

Common varieties of Korean zucchini include Seoulmadi aehobak, bulam-sacheol aehobak, and miso aehobak.[4][5]
