Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium yellow summer squash, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 small celery stalk, cut diagonally into slices
  • 3 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 6 ounces fresh snow (Chinese) pea pods

Steps

  • 1
    Heat 10-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add oil; rotate skillet to coat side.
  • 2
    Add squash, bell pepper, celery and onions; stir-fry about 2 minutes or until bell pepper is crisp-tender. Stir in lemon juice, lemon pepper and pea pods; cook and stir about 1 minute or until pea pods are crisp-tender.

  • Bottled lemon juice is readily available and perfect to keep on hand, but for this simple recipe, grab a few fresh lemons from the grocery store. The fresh juice flavors the vegetables wonderfully, and you’ll have enough left to make fresh lemonade.
  • If your zucchini harvest is bountiful, feel free to use one instead of the yellow squash. You’ll need about 1 1/2 cups of 1/4-inch slices.
