Tips & Substitutions
For a more vibrant flavor, try adding garlic or ginger to the sautéed onion. You can substitute the yellow summer squash and zucchini with other seasonal vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños. To enhance the dish, consider drizzling a little soy sauce or sesame oil before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this stir-fry alongside steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or tofu for added protein. You can also serve it as a colorful side dish to accompany dishes like Tar-I-Kal (Norwegian Lamb And Cabbage Dish). Garnish with sesame seeds or fresh herbs for an extra touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently stir-fry the vegetables in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Avoid using a microwave as it can make the vegetables soggy. For best results, enjoy them fresh right after cooking.
