Instructions
Creating Stir Fry with Zucchini Noodles is simple when you follow these clear steps:
1. Prepare the Zoodles: Spiralize the zucchini to create noodles and set aside. If you do not have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips.
2. Cut the Vegetables: Slice the bell peppers, julienne the carrots, and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Prepare any protein you are using by cutting it into bite-sized pieces.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
4. Cook the Protein: Add the protein to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
5. Add Aromatics: In the same pan, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Stir-Fry Vegetables: Add the bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
7. Combine Everything: Return the cooked protein to the pan. Add the spiralized zucchini noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until zucchini noodles are just tender.
8. Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Before serving, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.
9. Plate and Enjoy: Serve immediately while hot and enjoy this incredible dish!
