Ingredients
- 4 medium (spiralized) Zucchini
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 tablespoon (grated) Ginger
- 1 pound (sliced thin) Chicken breast (or beef or shrimp)
- 2 medium (julienned) Carrot
- 1 (sliced thin) Bell pepper
- 1 cup (sliced) Mushrooms
- 1 cup Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 (sliced for garnish) Green onions
- 2 teaspoons (for garnish) Sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles and set them aside. Pat the noodles with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the sliced chicken (or chosen protein) to the pan. Stir-fry until cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 5
Add the carrots, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Step 6
Return the cooked protein to the pan, and pour in the coconut aminos, fish sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well to combine.
Step 7
Add the spiralized zucchini noodles and toss everything together. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the zucchini noodles are warmed through but still firm to the bite.
Step 8
Remove the pan from heat and transfer the stir-fry to individual serving plates.
Step 9
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
