Ingredients
  

  • INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast diced (or shrimp/tofu)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

  • COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
  • Begin by spiralizing the zucchinis into noodles using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
  • If using cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu, add it to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the protein is heated through.
  • Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet along with the soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the zoodles are tender but still slightly al dente.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
  • For extra tips, it's important not to overcook the zucchini noodles, as they can become mushy and lose their texture. Aim to keep them slightly firm for the best bite.
  • Additionally, feel free to experiment with different sauces or spices to give your stir-fry a unique twist. Enjoy your healthy and satisfying low-carb dinner!
