Zucchini is versatile

Zucchini is a versatile and nutritious vegetable that can be used in many different types of dishes, including stir-fries. To prepare zucchini for a stir fry, you will need to first wash and slice it into bite-sized pieces. Then, you can heat a little bit of oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the zucchini to the pan and stir-fry for a few minutes until it is just starting to become tender. You can add other vegetables or protein at this point, such as sliced bell peppers, carrots, onions, garlic, chicken, beef, or shrimp or you can leave them out. 

To season the stir-fry, you can use a variety of sauces and spices. Be sure to taste as you go and adjust the seasoning to your liking.

Once everything is cooked through, you can serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles for a delicious and healthy meal.
