Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium (about 300g)
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons (30ml)
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon (15ml)
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Green onions - 2, sliced
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (optional)
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Wash and spiralize the zucchini to create noodles. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips.
2. In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
5. Pour the soy sauce over the zucchini noodles and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
7. Garnish with sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using. Serve immediately.
