Portions: 4
Serving size: 1/2 cup
Ingredients
- 4 teaspoons canola oil

- 1/4 cup red or green bell peppers, cut julienne style
- 1 cup zucchini, sliced
- 1/4 cup raw mushrooms, sliced
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 dash red chili flakes
- 1/3 cup water

Preparation
- Heat oil, onion and corn in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently until onion turns translucent and corn begins to brown.

Helpful hints
- 1 medium ear of fresh corn yields 3/4 to 1 cup of corn kernels.
