How to serve this stir fry recipe

Personally, I prefer eating this stir fry by itself. Don’t like to eat it by itself? Then, it can be served with rice like coconut rice, pineapple fried rice, basmati rice or even cauliflower rice.

Traditionally, udon noodles or rice noodles are served with stir fry. If you are looking for a keto friendly noodles, try it with (Affiliate Link) shirataki noodles.

Increase the protein content of this recipe by adding my tempeh and tofu crumbles. It adds more complete protein to this meal.

Make ahead and reheating

One of the main reasons you will love this recipe is because you can make it ahead of time and use it in meal prep recipes. I put it in glass containers and then use it throughout the week. It helps to have them on hand because it prevents me from using ordering apps.

To reheat, transfer from the glass container to a wok and cook for 3 minutes. Or, you can put it in a 250°F (121°C) preheated oven. Heat for 4-5 minutes.

DO NOT microwave the veggies. They cook unevenly and it also zaps out the nutrition.

Version 1

From time to time, I will go through old recipes to update the content. Sometimes, I update just the images and sometimes, I give the recipe a complete makeover

For this recipe, I kept the vegetables and also added more veggies. But, the big change is in the flavorings. I removed the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Instead, I used rice wine vinegar and coconut aminos. Also, I removed the agave because I wanted to make this a sugar free meal.
