Ingredients

• 450 grams Boneless skinless chicken breast (or beef strips, or pork tenderloin slices)
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 200 grams Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 150 grams Mushrooms
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil or avocado oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken (or beef/pork) into thin, bite-sized strips. Set aside.

Step 2

Cut the zucchini into thin rounds or half-moons, chop the broccoli into small florets, thinly slice the red bell pepper, and slice the mushrooms. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce (or tamari), sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or avocado oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the meat strips. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the meat is just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (or avocado oil). Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the vegetables (zucchini, broccoli, red bell pepper, and mushrooms) to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 8

Return the cooked meat to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the meat and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

Step 9

Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Remove from the heat and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
