Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 1 whole Red bell pepper
- 1 whole Zucchini
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (fresh, grated)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 whole Green onions (scallions)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by cleaning and slicing the mushrooms into thick pieces to ensure they hold texture during cooking.
Deseed and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.
Cut the zucchini into half-moons by halving it lengthwise and slicing across.
Finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Slice the green onions into thin rounds, separating the white and green parts.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the onions and sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent.
Add the garlic and grated ginger, stirring for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the sliced mushrooms, cooking for about 5 minutes until they start to brown and release their moisture.
Add the red bell pepper and zucchini slices, stirring them for about 3 minutes until just tender.
Pour in the soy sauce, mixing well to coat all the vegetables evenly. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper over the stir fry, and toss quickly to combine.
Remove from heat, garnish with the sliced green parts of the green onions, and serve hot alongside a steamed vegetable or protein of choice.
