• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
• 6 units fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the ends of both the zucchini and yellow squash. Slice them into thin half-moons.

Step 2

Rinse the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 6

Add the zucchini and yellow squash slices to the skillet. Stir fry for 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften but retain a slight crunch.

Step 7

Toss in the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to blister and release their juices.

Step 8

Drizzle the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar over the vegetables and sprinkle in the red chili flakes. Stir well to evenly coat the vegetables with the seasoning.

Step 9

Season the stir fry with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces, adding them to the stir fry. Gently toss to combine.

Step 11

Serve the stir fry hot as a side dish or as a main course over rice, quinoa, or noodles for a heartier meal.
