Ultimate 20 minute Stir Fry 3 ways
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.
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
Next cook your aromatics. Choose from the following:
Onion, Leeks, Garlic, Ginger
Once your aromatics are soft, cook the “hard” vegetables. Choose any or all of the
following:
Broccoli, Broccolini, Cauliflower, Carrots
Once your hard veggies begin to soften, cook your soft veggies:
Zucchini, Sweet peas, Mushrooms, Bell pepper, Water chestnuts, Bok Choy
Optional protein to add to your stir fry:
Garbanzo beans, Grass fed beef sliced thin, Shrimp- peeled and deveined, Scallops, Tofu
Make one of the following sauces to top your stir fry with once the vegetables are soft and the protein is cooked:
Spicy Paleo Stir Fry Sauce
1 clove minced garlic
4 tsp minced fresh ginger
2 TBS coconut sugar
2 TBS rice vinegar
2 tsp sesame oil
1/4 cup coconut aminos
1/4 cup chicken or beef bone broth,
1 TBS sriracha
1 TBS arrowroot powder
1 tsp fish sauce, optional
Ginger Miso Sauce
2 TBS minced fresh ginger
2 cloves minced garlic
4 tsp coconut aminos
4 tsp miso paste
1 lime, juiced
Teriyaki Sauce
1/2 cup coconut aminos
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 1/2 tsp coconut sugar
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp sesame seed oil
2 tsp minced fresh ginger
1-3 tsp arrowroot powder (optional- if you want your sauce to be thicker)
7. Serve your stir fry on a “base” and choose from the following:
Brown rice, Daikon Radish or Zucchini noodles cut using a spiralizer and blanched quickly in boiling water, Black rice noodles, Cassava noodles, or Garbanzo noodles. Enjoy!
