A vibrant and flavorful Thai-inspired zucchini stir-fry, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Using toasted sesame oil adds a rich, nutty flavor to the dish.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Stir in the zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften.
Cut the zucchini into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey to the skillet, mixing well to coat the zucchini.
Adjust the sauce ingredients to taste for a perfect balance of flavors.
Sprinkle the chopped peanuts and sliced green onions over the dish and give it a final stir.
Adding the peanuts at the end keeps them crunchy.
Serve the stir-fry immediately, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
