Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Stir-Fry
  • 1 lb protein (chicken, beef, or tofu) Choose your favorite protein.
  • 2 cups vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli) Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables.
  • 1 cup rice or quinoa Cook according to package instructions.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce Can substitute with coconut aminos.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (fresh or powdered)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cooking the rice or quinoa according to the package instructions. Once it’s fluffy and delicious, set it aside.
  2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Cooking
  1. Add your protein of choice to the pan and cook until it’s beautifully browned—about 5-7 minutes should do it!
  2. Toss in the vegetables and stir-fry everything together for another 5 minutes until the veggies are tender.
  3. Add the cooked rice or quinoa to the pan along with garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in the soy sauce and mix well.
  4. Give it a couple more minutes on heat to meld those flavors together, and then it’s time to serve hot!

Notes

If you have leftovers, let the stir-fry cool down and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. You can also freeze it in portions for up to 2 months. Just make sure to reheat it thoroughly before serving again. Customize with nuts or different sauces as desired.
