- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 head broccoli, chopped 115g
- 3 oz. snow peas
- 8 oz. whole water chestnuts sliced
- 2 green onion chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Stir Fry Sauce
- 1/3 + 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp. lite maple syrup
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp. chili garlic sauce
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
For thickening the sauce
- 1/2 tsp. tapioca flour
- 1/2 tsp. water
Instructions
- Spray a pan over medium heat with nonstick spray. Add the raw chicken and brown. Break into bite size pieces.
- While the meat is browning prep your stir fry sauce. Add all the ingredients to a jar with a lid and shake to combine.
- Chop the broccoli into bite size pieces and add to a shallow bowl. Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the bowl and place in the microwave for 60 seconds to soften.
- Once the meat has browned add the shredded carrots and broccoli to the pan. Stir and sauté on medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
- Add the stir fry sauce, sliced water chestnuts, chopped green onions and snow peas to the pan. Stir together to get everything evenly combined and bring to a steady simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Move the meat and vegetables to the side of the pan. Mix 1/2 tsp. of tapioca flour with 1/2 tsp. water in a small bowl and add to the sauce, separate from the meat and veggies. Stir the tapioca slurry in and you will immediately see the sauce begin to thicken. Mix together to evenly coat.
- Top with extra chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds and / or red pepper flakes. Serve alone, over rice or cauliflower rice or zoodles. Enjoy!
