Ingredients
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) canola oil
- 2 green zucchinis, sliced
- 10 ml (2 tsp) potted minced garlic (or 2 minced garlic cloves)
- 1 - 142 g (5 oz) can pink salmon flakes, drained

Note: Unlike traditional yeast used to make bread or pizza dough rise, nutritional yeast is inactive. It is frequently used in vegan cooking for its high vitamin B12 content. As an added bonus, its light nutty and cheesy flavour is a great addition to vegan meals... or not!
For a low FODMAP version: Replace the garlic with 5 ml (1 tsp) of garlic flower in oil, in a jar Replace soy beverage with rice, hemp or lactose-free cow's milk. Use Asian Haiku rice noodles (gluten-free)
