Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Edible crickets (cleaned and pre-roasted)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (minced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 large Red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 medium Zucchini (sliced into matchsticks)
- 1 large Carrot (julienned)
- 3 stalks Scallions (sliced)
- 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice or rice noodles (optional, for serving)
- 1 teaspoon Black sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced ginger and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the pre-roasted crickets. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly crisp.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, salt, and pepper. Pour the sauce over the cricket and vegetable mixture, tossing well to coat everything evenly.
Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the ingredients.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sliced scallions and black sesame seeds, if using.
Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice or rice noodles, as desired.
