Zucchini Pepper Stir-Fry

August 3, 2016 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 6 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Do you ever have an intention to make a certain dinner, then you look at it and you went completely the opposite way?  That is how this recipe came about.  I was going to make a Mediterranean dish, then when I was looking at it as I was putting it together, and I thought I want Chinese Stir-Fry.  I haven’t had stir-fry in forever, and I thought the base of my recipe is simply perfect to make into a spicy stir-fry and it’s quick too.  I was pretty hungry!  Today’s recipe is Zucchini Pepper Stir-Fry.

Zucchini Pepper Stir-Fry

This dish is light, refreshing and has a nice kick of heat.  I bought some fresh zucchini from the Farmers Market and used the peppers from my garden.  This recipe has simple ingredients, but has a lot of flavor.  It’s simply perfect for a quick weeknight meal.

Zucchini Pepper Stir-Fry


You can use a combination of the vegetables you like.  Snap peas and carrots would be a great addition, but I went simple with the recipe. Plus I was doing my refrigerator clean-up and this is what I had on hand.  I really try not to waste to many ingredients.  Use your imagination and go wild with what you love!

Zucchini Pepper Stir-Fry

The sauce is made with low sodium soy sauce, chili paste, and dijon mustard.  It’s salty and spicy and perfect with zucchini and peppers.  I just poured it all over my vegetables, once they were done cooking.  I served the vegetables over a bed of brown rice.  I cheated and used Trader Joe’s microwave Organic Brown Rice.  I love it because it is only 3 minutes in the microwave and you are done!

  • 21/2 tbsp soy sauce, low sodium

Add onion and peppers, stirring occasionally and cook for about 4 minutes. Add zucchini and cook until slightly tender, but still firm, stirring occasionally. Turn off heat and stir in sauce.

Use any vegetables that you like, such as carrots, water chestnuts and snap peas.

Zucchini Pepper Stir-Fry

I love these kind of recipes.  Guilt-free, easy to make and so much flavor.  You can’t beat these kind of weeknight meals.  Remember to just use up what you have on hand, if you don’t have zucchini, add celery and carrots.  If you don’t like poblano peppers, add bell pepper.  There are so many ways to go and as long as you like the vegetables added that is all that counts.

Toodles,

Jennifer

    What a tasty lunch…made it like yours except I added chickpeas for protein and added a few peanuts for crunch. I always have all of these ingredients on hand, so I’m sure this will be a make-again for a quick, easy, healthy meal! Thank you.

    I am confused by the order – you add in sauce before making it? Or do you mean you’re adding sriracha? I think your steps 4 and 5 should be 2 and 3 if you’re adding this to the stir fry upon its cooking – totally confused especially since sriracha wasn’t listed among your ingredients

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you so much for all your kind messages about the loss of Samantha. I was overwhelmed by all your kindness. It meant so much to me. Thank you.
❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.
❤️
Have a beautiful day.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?
