Ingredients

  • 2 Medium Zucchini batonnet cut
  • 8 oz Ham Small 1" Slices
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • ¼ tsp Red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp Oyster sauce*
  • 1 Tbsp Soy sauce* or coconut aminos
  • 2 Tbsp Avocado oil* for frying

Instructions

The trick with any stir fry is having everything ready because the actual cooking process is pretty fast

  • In a bowl mix pepper flakes, oyster sauce, and soy sauce.
  • In a wok or frying pan, Heat avocado oil on med-high
  • Add garlic and stir for 5 seconds
  • Add zucchini, stir fry for a minute, stirring frequently
  • Add ham
  • Then add sauce mixture
  • Quickly stir fry for several minutes then remove from heat. 

Notes

If you want to use a soy sauce alternative, you could try coconut aminos
Oyster sauce contains sugar and gluten -- so this recipe is not gluten-free, however, the amount called for in this recipe contains less than 1.5g of net carbs If you absolutely don't want to use it, that is fine, add an extra splash of the coconut aminos
I suggest using avocado oil because it has a high heat tolerance. Avocado oil and coconut oil can be used a high heat. Olive oil should not be used for this recipe. 
You can serve this alone (fewer servings) or with cauliflower rice.
