Hi there, Ameera here!
This Spicy Ginger Stir Fry dish is perfect for those busy nights when you need to get something on the table fast to feed a hungry family.
We love Asian dishes and this one really delivers. If you love that juxtaposition of sweet and spicy, then this dish is for you.
Using a package of frozen Asian Stir Fry Vegetables makes this dish incredibly fast and easy to pull together. We scarfed it down like our lives depended on it.
Tips for Success:
- Frozen Stir Fry Vegetables: Be sure to cook the stir fry vegetables until the desired tenderness before adding the sauce as the veggies will not become more tender after the sauce is added. You can also use fresh veggies if you wish, just make sure the veggies are cooked to the desired tenderness before adding the sauce.
- Veggies: You can pretty much substitute your favorite veggies into this dish.
- Chickpeas: You can add some chickpeas, or edamame, if you wish. Add in Step 2. Just don’t add too many or the dish can become too dry.
- Red Pepper Flakes: If you have small children, you may wish to reduce the amount of red pepper flakes. We loved the full ¼ teaspoon. It adds tons of flavor.
Leftovers and Freezing:
Leftovers will generally keep for 4-5 days in the refrigerator. Store in a covered container. Reheating can be done on the stovetop, or in the microwave.
This dish freezes well. For best results, thaw out in the fridge the night before.
Pantry Products Used:
- Tamari: We used San J Tamari Soy Sauce, Gluten Free, Reduced Sodium. You can substitute the tamari with reduced sodium soy sauce, Braggs Liquid Aminos, or Braggs Coconut Liquid Aminos.
- Chili Garlic Sauce: We used Huy Fong Foods Chili Garlic Sauce. This brand does have a small amount of sugar. However, this brand is generally accepted by the WFPB community.
Kitchen Products Used:
- Enamel/Ceramic Lined Skillet or similar nonstick skillet
We certainly hope you give this deliciousness a try.
