Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Add the zucchini to a 2-quart microwave-safe dish.
- Stir together the satay sauce, tahini, lime juice, soy sauce, and ginger in a small bowl until smooth. Pour the sauce over the zucchini and toss to coat.
- Cover the dish with unbleached parchment paper and microwave on high until the vegetables are done, about 4 minutes (for al dente) to 5 minutes (for softened). Remove from the microwave and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes to complete the cooking process.
- Add the snow peas and bell pepper, toss to combine, and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and cilantro, and serve immediately.
