Notes
To make Italian version of this stir fry, use extra virgin olive oil instead of sesame oil. Add some red wine vinaigrette and dried mixed herbs and saute.
Do not peel the Zucchini, as it holds the soft part of Zucchini together. Don't overcook it either, we need a little crunch in the same for this stir fry.
While buying Zucchini, see its firm and fresh.
While Chopping, see that Zucchini pieces are not too thick nor very thin.
Red Chillies add the much-needed spice and smokiness, but you can avoid it if you don't want it to be spicy.
Prep all the ingredients before starting to cook, so that it gets ready in just minutes.
Stir Fry the Zucchini on high heat. In this way, it will be accurately cooked, required for stir fry.
Soy sauce already has a lot of salt. So keep a check on any extra salt that you add.
Replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.
