Ingredients

• 2 medium (sliced into thin half-moons) Zucchini
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 medium (thinly sliced) Red bell pepper
• 1 cup Snow peas
• 1 cup (sliced) Mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
• 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon (grated) Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Sambal oelek (optional for heat)
• 1 teaspoon (for garnish) Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all vegetables by washing and slicing according to the ingredient list. Keep them ready and organized for quick cooking.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the avocado oil and allow it to heat for 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil, stirring frequently for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the broccoli florets to the pan first, as they take slightly longer to cook. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Next, add the zucchini, red bell pepper, snow peas, and mushrooms to the wok. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium, then stir in the soy sauce (or tamari), sesame oil, and sambal oelek (if using). Toss the vegetables to coat evenly in the sauce.

Step 7

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.

Step 8

Transfer the stir-fried vegetables to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds.

Step 9

Serve warm as a standalone dish or alongside a low-carb protein like grilled chicken or tofu.
