Hi there, Ameera here!

This week’s Whip It Up Wednesday is our crazy delicious Vegan Spicy Honey Garlic Stir Fry. I love me a great stir fry and this dish is all that and then some. We actually have two recipe options available just in case one appeals to you more than the other. Or you can totally mix and match the options.

• Option One– Soy Curls Stir Fry
• Option Two– Veggie Zoodle Stir Fry

The best part about stir fries like this one, is that you can make it your own: swap out your favorite fresh or frozen veggies; serve over brown rice or stir in cooked brown rice noodles; switch up your plant-based protein add-ins (ideas below).

Whip it up Wednesday

As you already know, every Wednesday, we feature a quick and easy recipe that can be “whipped up” in 20 minutes or less.  This recipe can be made in about 20 minutes, largely dependent upon which option you choose.

Sweet

The flavor is bold, sweet, spicy and just all-around amazing. The sauce is generally sweet as it is modeled around the S.A.D. Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry, just without the oil, honey, chicken, and other unhealthy ingredients.

You can easily adjust the sweetness level of this recipe by adding or subtracting the amount of maple syrup used to fit your personal preference.

Spicy

You can also adjust the heat level in this dish as well. We like our dishes spicy, but this is another component of the recipe that can be easily adjusted to suit your own preferences.

Simply scale back on the amount of chili garlic sauce that you use or omit it all together. Start out small and add a little at a time until you reach the level of heat that you desire for this stir fry.

Saucy

This recipe makes a fair amount of sauce, but once again, the amount of sauce is another element within your control. If you prefer a fair amount of sauce, then use the ingredient amounts recommended in the recipe. If you prefer more veggies and less sauce, then simply add more veggies and protein-packed add-ins (suggestions below.)

Protein-Packed Add-Ins

If you are looking for a protein-packed stir fry, here are some options:

• Soy Curls (used in option 1)
• Chickpeas (used in option 2)
• Baked Tofu
• Tempeh
• Extra Veggies

Fresh or Frozen Veggies

You literally can’t go wrong when it comes to frozen or fresh veggies used in this recipe.  Here are some ideas:

• Frozen Asian Veggie Blend – used in option 1, we added in one bag of Cascadian Farms: consisting of Green Beans, Broccoli, Carrots, Red Bell Pepper, Onions, Mushrooms (or any other frozen Asian blend.)
• You Favorite Fresh veggies – cut into small pieces or thin strips for quick cooking
• Zoodled Veggies – used in option 2, we zoodled carrots and zucchini for a fun twist

This stir-fry was crazy delicious, both options or combination of options.  We loved all the delicious combinations and varieties.

We hope you enjoy our new Whip It Up Wednesday quick and easy ideas!

Notes

*Soy Curls:  We found it challenging to find soy curls in our local grocery stores. We ended up buying them from Amazon. We purchased Butler Soy Curls 100% natural, no additives or preservatives, non-GMO, grown without chemical pesticides.  However, if you want to make this dish without soy curls, you can add 2 cans of your favorite beans (like chickpeas), baked tofu, tempeh, or use extra veggies.

*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. You can make your own by placing 4 spicy chili peppers, seeded (use gloves) into a food processor along with 1 heaping Tablespoon of minced garlic (about 4 to 5 cloves), 1 ½ teaspoons of maple syrup, 2 Tablespoons of white vinegar, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 Tablespoon water, and a pinch of sea salt.  Blend until smooth, do not puree, you want some texture. Place in a small pan and simmer over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Refrigerate in a tightly sealed jar.  We used 4 Fresno peppers.  If you use hotter peppers, cut back on the cayenne pepper. Note:  If you do not like any heat, you can leave the Chili Garlic Sauce out of the recipe. The flavor will be still be great, but the Chili Garlic Sauce really punches the flavor up.

*Makes:  2 to 3 servings

*Storage:  Refrigerate, use within 4 days.
