How do you stir fry zucchini?

Honestly, it couldn’t be easier! Just heat up a bit of olive oil in a deep skillet and saute zucchini strips along with some thin sliced onion. In this recipe I used soy sauce and sesame seed to add some additional flavor at the end, but you could use fresh basil and balsamic vinegar instead if that’s what you have on hand.
