Discover the ease and simplicity of stir-frys – a fuss-free way to pack in a medley of veggies and healthy proteins all in one delicious dish. There’s no need for culinary acrobatics here; stir-frys are your laid-back, customizable solution to a satisfying and delicious meal.
I always cook my stir-frys in avocado oil, since it has a higher smoke point than olive oil, and feel the oil doesn’t mask the flavor of the vegetables (which I enjoy!). And since I am soy free, I choose coconut aminos to flavor my stir-fry, and little else is needed.
So, kick back, relax, and let your stir-fry be the easygoing, flavorful companion to your laid-back evenings. No culinary stress, just good food at your own pace.

Steps:
- Prepare all of your vegetables and protein
- Heat about 2 tbsp of avocado oil in a wok or large pan
- Add in your vegetables and cook until tender, then add in your protein (if you have raw protein, I suggest cooking it in a separate pan first, then adding once cooked so as not to add more moisture to your vegetables and leave them mushy)
- Then add in your coconut aminos or soy sauce, approximately 2 tbsp to taste, stir/toss and heat for another 1-2 minutes
- Serve over white or brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice
- Garnish with green onions, cilantro, radishes, and/or sriracha (I love Yellowbird Organic Sriracha for a clean option)
