Servings: 4

Ingredients

Toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon
Green onions
2, sliced
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon, ground
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon
Honey
2 tablespoons
Rice vinegar
2 tablespoons
Sesame oil
2 tablespoons
Soy sauce
1/4 cup

1 tablespoon, grated

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring constantly, and sauté for 1 minute until they release their aromatic fragrances.
  3. Add sliced cabbage and zucchini to the skillet. Stir fry them for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp, retaining their vibrant colors and crunch.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to make the stir fry sauce. This sweet and tangy sauce with a hint of heat is the heart of this dish.
  5. Pour the sauce over the stir-fried vegetables in the skillet, ensuring they're evenly coated. Toss the ingredients together for a couple of minutes to let the flavors meld.
  6. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly, glazing the vegetables with its delicious blend of flavors.
  7. Remove from heat and garnish the stir fry with a sprinkling of sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor and a bit of crunch.
  8. Serve hot as a stand-alone dish for a light meal or over steamed rice for a more filling course.
