paleo, vegan, DF, GF

I make a stir fry at least once a week and it is never exactly the same twice. The point is for a stir fry to be an easy, go-to weeknight meal using whatever veggies you have on hand. Stir fry is completely customizable and can be vegan, paleo, or keto. Below is the ultimate stir fry primer for you complete with 3 delicious sauces.

  1. To build the ultimate easy stir fry, start with heating your oil in a cast iron pan or wok.

    Use Coconut oil, Ghee, or Avocado oil

  2. Next cook your aromatics. Choose from the following:

    Onion, Leeks, Garlic, Ginger

  3. Once your aromatics are soft, cook the “hard” vegetables. Choose any or all of the

    following:

    Broccoli, Broccolini, Cauliflower, Carrots

  4. Once your hard veggies begin to soften, cook your soft veggies:

    Zucchini, Sweet peas, Mushrooms, Bell pepper, Water chestnuts, Bok Choy

  5. Optional protein to add to your stir fry:

    Garbanzo beans, Grass fed beef sliced thin, Shrimp- peeled and deveined, Scallops, Tofu

  6. Make one of the following sauces to top your stir fry with once the vegetables are soft and the protein is cooked:
