Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced into half-moons
  • 8 oz baby bella or cremini mushrooms, quartered or sliced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Grain

  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice

Oils & Sauces

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and slice the zucchini into thin half-moons. Clean and quarter or slice the mushrooms. Mince the garlic and thinly slice the green onions. Make sure the rice is cooked and set aside before starting.
  2. Heat the Pan and Oil: Place a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp of olive or toasted sesame oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry quickly to release its aroma without burning it.
  3. Sauté the Mushrooms: Add the mushrooms to the pan. Stir frequently for about 4 to 5 minutes until they soften and develop a golden color.
  4. Add Zucchini and Season: Add the zucchini slices to the pan and stir-fry for another 3 to 4 minutes until they soften but remain slightly crisp. Pour in the soy sauce and season with salt and pepper, mixing well to combine the flavors.
  5. Combine with Rice and Finish: Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked rice to the pan. Toss gently to mix and warm the rice thoroughly. Finish with a sprinkle of sliced green onions and remove from heat before serving.

Notes

  • Use high heat to ensure quick cooking and maintain vegetable crispness.

  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming.
  • Choose the freshest zucchini and mushrooms for best flavor and appearance.
  • Finish with fresh herbs like green onions or cilantro to brighten the dish.
