Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles and set them aside. Pat the noodles with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced chicken (or chosen protein) to the pan. Stir-fry until cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the carrots, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked protein to the pan, and pour in the coconut aminos, fish sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well to combine.
Add the spiralized zucchini noodles and toss everything together. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the zucchini noodles are warmed through but still firm to the bite.
Remove the pan from heat and transfer the stir-fry to individual serving plates.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
