Equipment

Ingredients
Stir Fry
- 2 small zucchini sliced, approximately 3 cups
- 5 count cremini or shiitake mushrooms sliced, about 1 cup
- 1 pinch salt for seasoning zucchini and mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or water for cooking
- ¼ cup pine nuts optional, lightly toasted if desired
Stir Fry Sauce
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare the stir fry sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together tamari, maple syrup, rice vinegar, water, garlic powder, and cayenne if using. Set aside.
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add oil or water. Once hot, add zucchini with a pinch of salt. Stir-fry for 1–2 minutes, until just softened and lightly golden brown in spots. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of sauce and toss to coat.
- Add mushrooms, pine nuts (you can toast them in a dry skillet for 2–3 minutes beforehand if you'd like), and another pinch of salt. Stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes, adding another tablespoon or two of sauce as the veggies cook and absorb flavor.
- Pour in the rest of the sauce. Stir and cook for about a minute, just until everything is evenly coated.
