  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 medium zucchini (spiralized into noodles)
– 1 cup bell peppers (sliced, any color)
– 1 cup broccoli florets
– 1 cup snap peas
– 1 cup carrots (julienned or thinly sliced)
– 2 cloves garlic (minced)
– 1-inch piece fresh ginger (grated)
– 1 pound protein of choice (chicken, shrimp, or tofu)
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– Salt and pepper (to taste)
– Sesame seeds (for garnish)


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!
