Zippy Crucifer Stir-Fry

Ingredients

N

The Stir Fry

  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil (or use grape seed oil; olive oil is not suited for the high temp of stir-frying)
  • 4 cups coarsely chopped broccoli & cauliflower (can buy chopped/pre-washed for ease) –
  • As an alternative to broccoli, this recipe is good with any type of Asian cabbage (bok choy, napa cabbage, Chinese cabbage, or even American purple cabbage)
  • (Can use a variety of vegetables such as red pepper, green beans, mushrooms, carrot etc… experiment with what you like and have on hand)
  • 1 large onion (ideally use a sweet variety or a red onion for extra flavor)
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
    1 tsp toasted sesame oil
    11⁄2 inches ginger, finely minced (not necessary to peel – just wash well)
    4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced or pressed
  • (Can add chicken if you want some meat protein). If using chicken I will cook chicken separately and add it to the vegetables. You can also buy an organic rotisserie chicken at Whole Foods, chop it and add it to make a quick easy meal.
Broccoli and cauliflower stir fry with onions, garlic, ginger, and mixed vegetables in a bowl.
