Spring Into the Season!

Beat the cold and beat getting a cold with oodles of vitamins from my favorite noodle-less, springtime stir fry!

 

Stir fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal since most of the work, like chopping veggies, can be done on a weekend when you have more time to prep.  Chop, wash and bag your stir fry and pop it into a hot skillet any night of the week.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

-6 to 8 ozs of pork loin, chicken breast or tempeh

-1 TSP fish sauce (found in the specialty aisle of your grocery store)

-1 TBSP Miso paste (optional)

-1/2 cup water, divided

-1/2 head of broccoli, chopped

-1 lbs of asparagus, chopped

-6 oz of shitake or baby bella mushrooms, chopped

-1 bunch of spring onions or scallions

-3 cloves of fresh garlic

-2 cherry peppers (these are hot and very optional), deseeded and chopped

-1 cup of snow peas

-1 TSP ground ginger

-1 dash of ground clove (optional, but highly recommended)

-2 TBSP Bragg Liquid Aminos (soy sauce alternative)

 

Directions:

Add oil to a very large skillet, cast iron or wok.  Heat over medium high heat and add protein.  Allow the meat to sear in the skillet for 3 minutes then stir frequently.  This will give your protein a nice color and taste great without added calories.  Once the protein is cooked completely, usually another 3 to 5 minutes, add the fish sauce, miso paste and 1/4 cup of water.  Stir to combine the ingredients completely and remove from the pan into a bowl.  To the skillet, add the remaining water, ground ginger, clove and all the veggies except for the tops of the green onion.  Reserve those for garnish and fresh flavor.  Stir the veggies very frequently for 5 minutes, add the Bragg Liquid Aminos and protein back into the skillet and combine.  Garnish with green onion.
Serves 2.
