Instructions

Prep everything before beginning and have all the ingredients nearby and ready to go.
Heat the wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the avocado oil.
Once hot, add the beef, cook for about two minutes.
Stir in the zucchini and cook for an additional minute or so.
Stir in the onions and cook until the meat is done, about a minute or two.
Sprinkle and stir in the ground ginger and black pepper.
Remove everything from the wok and place it in a bowl, set aside. Add the remaining avocado oil.
Toss the udon noodles in the oil for about one minute. Then return everything to the wok.
Stir in the cilantro, teriyaki sauce, and sesame seeds. Heat through for about a minute, then remove from heat. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Adaptations and variations

Noodles — We love the size and chewiness of the udon noodles, but soba noodles or rice noodles would work as well. Prepare them according to package directions.

Protein —Beef is classic but your favorite protein, chicken, pork, or sliced firm tofu works wonderfully too.

Vegetables —All the vegetables work. Shredded Napa cabbage, bok choy, green onions, snap peas, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, and broccoli are all great options.
