Easy Zucchini Stir Fry

Recipe Description

This Easy Zucchini Stir Fry is a firm favorite in my weeknight kitchen. It is jam-packed with healthy vegetables, all wrapped up in a garlic and ginger sauce that is a perfect balance between sweet and salty. If I have some leftover roast chicken or pork, I shred that and add it too, but this dish tastes delicious without meat too.

Start by whisking all of the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Sauté carrots, mushrooms, and zucchini in oil and add. Once the vegetables are soft enough to pierce with a fork, add the sauce and cook until thickened. Serve over rice and enjoy!

To make my Easy Zucchini Stir Fry, you will need the following ingredients:

Delicious! I made this stir fry last week after discovering a pile of zucchinis in my garden. It reminded me of my grandma’s kitchen, filled with lovely aromas. Simple to whip up, and it turned out an absolute hit with my family. I will definitely make it again.

This Easy Zucchini Stir Fry is simply great. My hubby and I whip this up on busy weeknights, and it's so quick. I love adding leftover grilled chicken for some extra flavor. My kids even ask for seconds, and that's rare. Thankful I found this recipe. It’s now a regular in our house.
