Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Cut Vegetables

    Wash the zucchini, carrot, bell pepper, and green onions thoroughly under running water. Cut the zucchini into half-moon slices, the carrot into thin matchsticks, and the bell pepper into strips. Chop the green onions, keeping the white and green parts separate.

  2. 2

    Mince Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir until well combined and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Stir-Fry Garlic and Vegetables

    Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the zucchini, carrot, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  3. 6

    Add Sauce and Finish

    Pour the prepared sauce over the stir-fried vegetables. Toss to coat evenly and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with the green parts of the chopped green onions. Serve immediately while hot.
