Ingredients

• 200 grams Edible crickets (cleaned and pre-roasted)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (minced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 large Red bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 medium Zucchini (sliced into matchsticks)
• 1 large Carrot (julienned)
• 3 stalks Scallions (sliced)
• 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice or rice noodles (optional, for serving)
• 1 teaspoon Black sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced ginger and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the pre-roasted crickets. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly crisp.

Step 4

Add the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, salt, and pepper. Pour the sauce over the cricket and vegetable mixture, tossing well to coat everything evenly.

Step 6

Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the ingredients.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sliced scallions and black sesame seeds, if using.

Step 8

Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice or rice noodles, as desired.
