Simple Stir-Fry


Stir-Fry is incredibly easy, affordable, healthy and quick to make, especially if you own a wok (you can also use a big frying pan), and almost any vegetable can be 'thrown' into the mixture!

Can be eaten on its own or with potato, rice, quinoa, or any other grain.
(Before)

Basic Ingredients:
  • Toasted Sesame Oil
  • Bragg (Liquid Aminos - in Wholefoods and many other supermarkets)
  • Shredded cabbage
  • Shredded carrots
  • Sliced or chopped zucchini
  • Chopped celery

Other great veggies to add: Bean sprouts, sweet peas, corn, red pepper, bokchoy, cauliflower, broccoli...

Put all the vegetables in the wok, cook on medium, and mix veggies around. Pour a T-spoon or 2 of the Toasted Sesame Oil all around, and 2 or 3 Tablespoons of Bragg (or other healthy soy sauce-type ingredient), add garlic, pepper, ginger (fresh or powder), and any spices you like. Stir every once in a while. Cooks in about 15-20 minutes. Try not to overcook so the vegetables retain their texture, flavor, and as many vitamins as possible.

(After)

If you want to eat slower and savor each bite, use chopsticks!

Enjoy...
