Ingredients
Scale
Main Vegetables:
- 1 large zucchini, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Finishing Touches:
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Grab a large skillet or wok and heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat until the surface shimmers and looks slightly wavy.
- Drop sliced zucchini, onion, mushrooms, and bell pepper into the hot oil, spreading them evenly across the cooking surface.
- Stir-fry the vegetables vigorously for 5-7 minutes, moving them constantly to ensure they brown evenly without burning.
- Lower the heat to medium and pour in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 2 minced garlic cloves.
- Toss the vegetables thoroughly to ensure every piece gets coated with the fragrant sauce mixture.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper across the vegetables, using just enough to enhance their natural flavors.
- Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and help ingredients absorb the seasonings.
- Transfer the sizzling vegetables to a serving dish, making sure to scrape all the delicious sauce from the pan.
- Optionally, dust the top with a light sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- Prep vegetables in similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
- Choose a wide skillet or wok to give vegetables enough space for proper stir-frying without steaming.
- Opt for high heat and quick cooking to maintain crisp vegetable texture and prevent soggy results.
- For gluten-free adaptation, replace standard soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos to keep the same umami flavor profile.
