Instructions
Creating the Zucchini Noodle Stir Fry is straightforward. Follow these simple steps for a delicious meal:
1. Prepare the Zoodles: Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the zucchinis. Make sure they’re not too thick for even cooking.
2. Wash and Cut Vegetables: Rinse the bell pepper, snap peas, and carrots. Slice them accordingly for even cooking.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Sauté Aromatics: Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Cook Vegetables: Add the bell pepper, snap peas, and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
6. Add Zoodles: Incorporate the zucchini noodles into the skillet. Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes.
7. Season: Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, tossing everything to coat well. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
8. Final Sauté: Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes. The zoodles should be tender yet have a slight bite.
9. Serve Immediately: Once everything is well combined, remove from heat.
10. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds, green onions, or crushed red pepper flakes on top if desired.
