Instructions
Creating Zucchini And Bell Pepper Stir Fry is simple! Follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Veggies: Rinse the zucchinis and bell peppers under cold water. Slice the zucchinis into half-moons and cut the bell peppers into strips. Thinly slice the onion.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sauté the Onions: Add the sliced onions to the skillet, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.
4. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.
5. Add Zucchini: Toss in the sliced zucchinis and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
6. Incorporate Bell Peppers: Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
7. Season It Up: Drizzle soy sauce over the vegetable mixture, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine everything well.
8. Finish Cooking: Continue to sauté everything for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
9. Serve: Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired. Garnish with fresh basil or cilantro for an extra touch of freshness.
10. Enjoy: Serve hot as a main dish or alongside your favorite protein!
