Ingredients
- 200 g (about 7 oz) zucchini, sliced into colorful rounds or half-moons
- 100 g (about 3.5 oz) yellow squash, sliced
- 50 g (1.75 oz) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp vegetable or sesame oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp teriyaki sauce (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes, a pinch

Instructions
- Preheat your wok or large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add a splash of vegetable or sesame oil, swirling to coat.
- Add minced garlic and grated fresh ginger. Stir quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
- Toss in sliced zucchini, yellow squash, and sliced mushrooms. Stir-fry briskly for 3–4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to sear and develop a slight char. Season with salt and pepper, then drizzle with soy sauce and a touch of sesame oil, stirring constantly.
- Continue cooking until the vegetables are tender yet crisp, caramelized edges are visible, and the flavors meld. For extra flavor, sprinkle red pepper flakes and chopped scallions, tossing to combine. Add a pat of butter if desired for richness.
- Remove from heat. Drizzle with a little teriyaki or additional soy sauce for more umami. Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and extra scallions for vibrant presentation and aroma.
