Garlic Ginger Stir-Fried Courgettes with Sesame Seeds

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Add the sliced courgettes to the wok and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp and slightly browned.

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (if using), and sesame oil.

Pour the sauce over the courgettes and stir-fry for another minute, until the sauce has slightly thickened and coats the courgettes.

Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to taste.

Remove from heat and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Serve immediately as an appetizer.
