• 8 oz (225g) shrimp, chicken, or tofu (your choice)
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil or coconut oil

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Protein: If using shrimp or chicken, season with a pinch of salt and pepper. If using tofu, press and cut it into cubes.
2. Sauté the Protein: In a wok or large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the protein and cook until fully cooked and slightly browned. Remove from the wok and set aside.
3. Sauté the Veggies: In the same wok, heat the remaining oil. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add sliced onions and bell peppers, and stir-fry until they begin to soften.
4. Add the Noodles: Push the veggies to the side of the wok and add the zucchini noodles. Cook briefly until they are just tender.
5. Create the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together low-sodium soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and chili paste.
6. Combine and Serve: Add the cooked protein back to the wok, pour the sauce over the noodles and veggies, and toss everything together until well combined.
