Ingredients

• 1 cup couscous
• 1 1/4 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 1 cup ham, diced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Green onions, for garnish

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the couscous. Cover and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the couscous is tender and has absorbed the broth.
2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until they are fragrant and slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the bell peppers and zucchini to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, until they are crisp-tender.
4. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the diced ham to the other side. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Pour the sauce over the ham and vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for another minute to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. Fluff the couscous with a fork and add it to the skillet. Stir to combine all the ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with green onions before serving.
