Description

A light and filling stir-fry dish made with zucchini noodles and fresh vegetables, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or healthy lunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the zucchini noodles by spiralizing the zucchinis and setting them aside.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger for about 30 seconds.
  3. Add the sliced bell peppers, julienned carrots, and broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Incorporate the spiralized zucchini noodles into the skillet and stir gently to combine.
  5. Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture, tossing to coat evenly, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the soy sauce if needed, then remove from heat.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve warm.

Notes

  • For gluten-free options, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Consider adding protein like tofu, chicken, or chickpeas for a heartier meal.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain texture.
