INGREDIENTS NOTES:
CHICKEN:
- We can add chicken thighs and breasts in this stir-fry both works nicely. Thigh meat adds more moisture and a deeper taste, while chicken breast will keep it leaner.
CABBAGE:
- We can cut or shred the green cabbage into small pieces. Cabbage is a wonderful low-carb alternative to rice, cabbage gives a good crunch and holds up nicely in stir-fries.
AVOCADO OIL:
- Avocado oil is excellent high-heat oil for stir-frying that is also healthful. You may use coconut oil instead if you’d like.
GARLIC:
- We use freshly shop or minced garlic to make this stir-fry because it enhances the flavor of the meal.
GINGER:
- Ginger is ideally grated or minced finely; it gives the meal warmth and a tangy burst.
COCONUT AMINOS:
- Coconut aminos is a milder-tasting, somewhat sweeter soy sauce substitute which is keto-friendly. You may use tamari instead if you want a stronger taste.
RICE VINEGAR:
- Rice vinegar balances the taste by adding a little acidity. Choose rice vinegar without added sugar if you’re on a rigorous keto diet.
SESAME OIL:
- Sesame oil adds a distinguishing nutty taste and fragrance & is a staple in Chinese cooking.
SALT & PEPPER:
- Add salt and pepper to taste, varying according to your taste and the level of saltiness in your soy sauce or coconut aminos.
SRIRACHA:
- You may optionally add Sriracha or chili flakes; adapt to your tolerance for those who want a little spiciness.
OPTIONAL GARNISH:
- We can sprinkle with freshly cut green onions and toasted sesame seeds for more texture and color.
