It’s no secret that I recently started perusing our local farmer’s market. These outings have left me with a variety of nutritious, tasty vegetables…that I often times have no idea what to do with! Which is exactly why I am so excited about this stir-fry recipe. I was able to use 5 of the items that I found at the farmers’ market in this one recipe – that is definitely a record! Plus, if you make the sauce yourself and serve it with brown rice, you end up with a delicious, healthy meal.
Farmers’ Market Stir-Fry
Ingredients
Teriyaki Sauce
Stir Fry
- 4 servings brown rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, for cooking
- 2 cups mixed veggies, I used radishes, carrots, mushrooms, spinach & green onions from the farmers’ market plus some all natural shrimp from Earthfare, onions and/or meat or seafood
- pineapple, optional side
- mango, optional side
Instructions
-
Start the rice according to directions on the package.
-
To make the sauce combine the next four ingredients (soy sauce, water, ginger & honey) in a small pot over high heat. Bring to a boil and then keep on a low simmer while you prepare the rest of the meal.
-
Chop the veggies, and meat/seafood.
-
In a wok or sauté pan heat the oil over medium heat then add the veggies and meat/seafood. I held back the mushrooms and added them towards the end since they don’t take as long to cook.
-
Once the vegetables are soft and the meat is cooked through, add the sauce that you have been keeping warm.
-
Serve over the cooked rice, garnish with green onions and a side of freshly sliced pineapple or mango. Enjoy!
Kale Chips (a surprisingly easy and delicious veggie!)
I want to try this but my husband can’t eat shrimp. As I haven’t tried it I don’t know what other meat would pair good. Any suggestions for a substitution?
Hi there. You could use chicken or tofu or any protein that you choose. :)
This is one of our favorite clean recipes! It’s easy to adjust to what your family will eat. I used coconut aminos in place of the soy sauce. While the sauce didn’t thicken, it didn’t matter since the rice/veggie/chicken mixture absorbed it. I sautéed onion, red pepper, snow peas and garlic in butter, then added brown rice and chicken that were already cooked. I’m ready to make this again tomorrow! Thank you!
