Zucchini Recipe ⟶ Zucchini and Soy Bean Stir Fry

I invented this while goofing around in the kitchen. It ended up being a hit with my family! If the veggies are steamed tender-crisp before being thrown in the pan, it cuts the cooking time in half and makes it a quick healthy lunch! Serve warm, topped with toasted sesame seeds.

• ⅓ cup broccoli florets
• ⅓ cup cauliflower florets
• ½ cup shelled edamame (green soybeans)
• 1 large carrot, chopped

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
