Ginger Beef or Chicken with Zucchini and Snap Peas is a perfect weeknight dinner! Beef or chicken and your favorite vegetables. The sauce is divine! Any occasion. Absolutely delicious.
The sauce in this Ginger Beef or Chicken with Zucchini and Snap Peas is, as usual, my favorite part of this dish! Don't get me wrong, I love it with both chicken and beef. I usually use whatever I have handy. The meat always turns out so tender!I also love using snap peas and zucchini, especially when zucchinis are in season, our garden produces so many of them! That being said, you can definitely use any vegetables you are in the mood for or have on hand. Just remember to adjust your cooking times accordingly.
Some vegetables do take longer to cook than others! Don't be afraid to taste each vegetable that you are using as they are cooking. That is what I always do! If you ever have any questions about timing please don't hesitate to ask! I am here to try and help if needed.
Ginger Beef or Chicken with Zucchini and Snap Peas is perfect served over rice or your favorite noodle! I have used regular, macaroni pasta in a pinch. Truthfully, I ran out of rice and that was all I had in the pantry but no one complained and I enjoyed it myself.
Check out our recipe below. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
