Ingredients

  • 4 medium zucchini, spiralized
  • 1 red bell pepper, julienned
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, julienned
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup snow peas, trimmed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the red and yellow bell peppers, carrots, and snow peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the zucchini noodles are just tender but not mushy.

  9. Serve immediately, accompanied by a warm cup of green tea for a refreshing contrast.

Helpful Tips

  • For a burst of protein, add some tofu, cooked chicken, or shrimp to the stir-fry.
  • Feel free to switch up the vegetables based on what you have on hand or what’s in season.
  • If you don’t have a spiralizer, many grocery stores offer pre-spiralized zucchini in the produce section.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to maintain texture.

Ingredient Substitutions

  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
  • Substitute avocado oil for olive oil for a slightly different flavor profile.

Pairings

This Zucchini Noodle Stir-Fry pairs beautifully with a side of miso soup or a fresh cucumber salad. For beverages, green tea complements the flavors perfectly, or try a light, sparkling water with a hint of lime.
