Garlic-Ginger Shiitake Stir Fry

As long as you have Tamari Sauce as a substitute for Soy Sauce (which contains wheat flour), stir fry is one of the easiest and tastiest GF meals out there. At least in my book. It's just a matter of picking a few complimentary ingredients and understanding the density of each for cook-time purposes.

Tonight my focus ingredient was the oh-so-tasty shiitake mushroom. Any time you make a stir fry dish, I suggest picking one focus ingredient and building on that. Chances are, any leftover ingredients can be easily integrated into the following days' meals.

Ingredients:

• brown rice
• vegetable oil
• red pepper
• sweet yellow onion
• carrots
• shiitake mushrooms
• canned or fresh bean sprouts
• fresh Chinese snow peas
• fresh garlic, chopped
• fresh ginger, grated
• salt & pepper
• chili flakes
• San-J Wheat-Free Tamari Soy Sauce
• avocado

1. start rice, prep other ingredients
2. heat oil in a wok or large frying pan, add carrots & saute for a couple minutes
3. add red pepper and onion, salt & pepper, and chili flakes. saute for about 5 more minutes, depending on the size of your vegetables
4. add sliced mushrooms, garlic, ginger, and Tamari sauce. keep stirring for a couple more minutes.
5. add snow peas, stir for few more minutes, then add bean sprouts for the last minute.
6. serve over brown rice with fresh avocado

Taste the rainbow of flavor.
