A light Asian-inspired zucchini noodle stir fry packed with fresh ingredients and tons of flavor — this is a perfect recovery meal after the holidays, or anytime you need a break from heavy foods.
This is loaded with fresh zoodles, peppers, carrots, cashews, and fresh herbs that come to life in a light soy and teriyaki sauce. I kept it vegan- and vegetarian-friendly, but you could add some meat for protein. It’s perfect for lunch or dinner!
