- Once melted, add the minced garlic and sliced leek. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the leeks are slightly softened.
- Add the zucchini slices to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the zucchini is tender but still crisp.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- Add the cooked and drained rice noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss to combine and heat through.
