Notes

What to Serve it With

Rice/grains. Stir fries such as this one go perfectly with rice because it can absorb all the yummy sauce! We love to serve this with white, brown, or wild rice! For a protein-rich grain, you can use quinoa.

Low carb option. If you want a low-carb option, serve it over cauliflower rice instead.
