Honey Soy Garlic Stir Fry
(+Vegan/Vegetarian option)
I love stir fry dinners, especially on the nights when you just need something quick, easy ‘no fuss’. I always cook once and eat twice (at least twice!). Whether you’re vegan or not, this recipe is only a handful of ingredients and is the perfect balance of protein, loads of veggies and a good amount of healthy fats.
I used to be a sucker for the stir fry packets with the frozen sauce included. Except they always have tonnes of sugar, preservatives and other junk that you really don’t need to bring into your body! It really is absolutely no extra work if you get a good frozen packet of veggies (without the sauce sachet) and add in your own flavouring, from ingredients you’ve probably already got in the fridge and pantry anyway.
Make it special and eat this honey soy garlic stir fry with chopsticks.
If you have never successfully eaten with chop sticks, there’s no better time to try than when chowing down on some gorgeous asian veggies! Eating with chop sticks (especially if you’re not a pro at it) is a great way to SLOW DOWN your eating, which is a huge part of eating mindfully and in tune with your own body. Eating mindfully helps reduce stress, improves digestion, hydration and helps you with your weight goals! its a win, Win, WIN situation.
