About the Vegan Recipe for Oriental Stir-Fried Zucchini
I do like Asian food, no matter which part. Asians have a great sense of healthy food. Therefore, zucchini is one of the best options to proceed with a healthy diet. Like any other oriental recipe, the vegan stir-fried zucchini is very simple, with few ingredients, and has a great taste and flavor! Besides zucchini, you need to have in your kitchen one big green onion and soy sauce. The oriental stir-fried zucchini is best served with two Asian wood sticks.
Health Benefits for Oriental Stir-Fried Zucchini
Zucchini contains a diversity of vitamins and minerals. Cooked zucchini is especially high in vitamin A, Fiber, Manganese, Vitamin C, Potassium, Magnesium, Vitamin K, Folate, Copper, Phosphorus, Vitamin B6, Thiamine, iron, calcium, zinc, and B vitamins. Zucchini has also been used in old medicine to treat colds, aches, and various health conditions. Nowadays, besides the fact it is categorized as a fruit rather than a veggie, it is used in a lot of Asian recipes and dishes, and not as a medicine!
Stir-fried Zucchini for vegans and vegetarians
Adopting a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle is hard at the beginning, but is it? It is not if you have the best recipes with you. Therefore, I like to greet all of the vegan or vegetarian people with this tremendous stir-fried, Asian-style Zucchini. I have a vegan friend who tries all my recipes suited for him and said this is one of the best. Simple, yet full of flavor, the Oriental Stir-Fried Zucchini is one recipe you’ll want to add to your meal plan.
With what goes best? Soy Sauce or Liquid Aminos
Soy Sauce and Liquid Aminos are great for this recipe. I recommend soy sauce because the recipe is Asian and most probably you searched for one from this cuisine. Liquid Aminos is a more American style, and if you want to “Amecarinize” the recipe, use the Aminos. If you use soy sauce for the stir-fried zucchini, use light soy sauce to flavor it without darkening the dish.
“Why do we use Sriracha or Tabasco or Worcestershire or A1? Because it adds flavor.
In the case of Soy sauce, it is usually added instead of salt to Asian dishes. It adds a distinct flavor in addition to the flavor enhancing properties of sodium that compliments the ingredients in the recipe.
Think of it this way: Soy sauce is to Chinese food what A1 is to steaks.”
Can I lose weight and belly fat with Stir-fried zucchini?
Zucchini is a great fiber source, which is good for weight loss because it slows down digestion and makes you think you’re full. It also has high water content, which adds bulk to what you eat without extra calories. Adding zucchini to your meal plan will make you lose weight in no time and without too much “headache“!
