  2. Heat the remaining sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook broccoli until bright green and still crunchy, about 5 minutes. Add green bell pepper and carrots; cook and stir until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add zucchini; cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes more.

Cook’s Note

You can use any vegetables; I like adding bamboo shoots, bok choy, and onion. You can also add any protein.
