Zucchini ribbons are best cooked briefly so they stay lively rather than watery. A savoury peanut-lime dressing and crisp vegetables turn them into a fast bowl with plenty of texture.

Method
01
Whisk peanut butter, citrus juice, soy, ginger and 2 tablespoons warm water into a pourable dressing.
02
Heat oil in a wide pan and stir-fry bell pepper for 90 seconds.
03
Add zucchini ribbons and toss over high heat for only 1–2 minutes.
04
Remove from heat, fold through dressing and spring onion, and serve before the zucchini releases water.
Kitchen notes
Salt only after cooking because early salt draws water from zucchini.
Use tahini or seed butter when peanuts are unsuitable.
