Ingredients
  

For the Stir-Fry
  • 200 g Zucchini Adds a tender, crisp base; substitute with yellow squash for a similar texture.
  • 100 g Yellow Squash Complements zucchini with a mild flavor; can be replaced with bell peppers.
  • 50 g Mushrooms Provides umami flavor; substitute with snap peas for a lighter option.
  • 1 small Onion (sliced) Enhances the dish with sweetness and depth; use shallots for a milder taste.
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced) Brings robust flavor; avoid if allergic, or replace with garlic powder.
  • 1 inch Ginger (grated) Offers a zesty bite; ground ginger can be used if fresh is unavailable.
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable/Sesame Oil For high-heat cooking; substitute with olive oil if preferred.
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce Adds savory depth; use tamari for gluten-free.
  • 1 tbsp Teriyaki Sauce (optional) Enhances sweetness; can be omitted for lower sugar.
