Simple side dishes with only a few ingredients are a gift really.

Like, I am already making a main course and now I’m supposed to whip up a fancy side dish or two as well…no thank you.

This zucchini paired perfectly with Honey Soy Grilled Chicken, which is also a quick meal with 5 ingredients.

For the chili part of this dish, I used Sambal Oelek but you could use Sriracha if preferred.

It has a nice spice, but not overwhelming.

How to make Chili Garlic Stir Fry Zucchini

Slicing the zucchini fairly thick is also part of what makes this so good.

If it’s too thin, it will turn mushy and I love zucchini that still have a slight crisp to it.

I cut my zucchini lengthwise and then into half inch slices.

Then slice the onions a bit thinner, more like quarter inch slices.

Since the onions will take a bit longer to cook, I threw them first into a wok over medium high heat with sesame oil.

You can certainly use a skillet if you don’t have a wok.

After the onion cook about 3 minutes, add the zucchini.

Keep stirring this for 3 more minutes.

Then add in the yumminess…the chili sauce, soy sauce, and garlic.

Cook another 3 to 4 minutes and that’s really it!

See, I told ya it was simple and easy đŸ™‚
