Instructions
Stir Fry Sauce
- Combine all ingredients in a Mason Jar and Shake! Set aside (I grate the Ginger in a cheese grater, and crush the garlic to allow more flavor!)
Stir Fry
- Chop all the veggies (I used the food processor and the slicing attachment, to easily slice all the veggies)
2 Options – Choose 1 or 2
- (1) Pressure cook all veggies on high with 1 cup of water for 2 minutes! β Then transfer to stovetop with Sesame Oil and continue cooking to your liking
- (2) Cook the veggies in Sesame Oil (or oil of choice) in pan on stovetop over low heat until tender and cooked to your liking.
- Add in Stir-fry Sauce and spices and cook until it thickens! (Add fish sauce if not vegan/vegetarian!)
Rice/Cauliflower Rice
- If 100% Paleo: Create cauliflower rice using food processor, and add to pressure cooker for 2 minutes or cook over stovetop in oil of choice.
- If Not Paleo and Using Rice: Cook rice, as you typically would, (Boil or Fry) and after draining, add salt and pepper, and 1 TBS of Coconut Oil or ΒΌ Cup Grassfed Butter (Or to taste!)
- Serve rice of choice, top with stirfry (Serve with Tamari Sauce if you'd like!)
If youβre not Vegan/Vegetarian, Fish Sauce provides a nice saltiness to this Paleo Stir-Fry! You donβt need a lot, and it mellows out nicely combined with garlic and ginger! I never liked fish, but I was always fine with a little bit of fish sauce mixed in with curries and stir-fries!
Sesame Oil adds a nice earthy flavor to the sauce, but not necessary if you donβt have it on hand or if you are AIP!
And this is the perfect meal-prep meal!
