We will be gearing up for school in just three short weeks. Laid back summer days are about to be a thing of the past, much to my kids’ extreme disappointment.

School means not only busy days but busy nights as well. Between homework, sports, and activities…there isn’t enough time to make a big family dinner. You are going to love how easy this gluten free stir fry is to make.

On busy school nights, it is all about quick and easy dinners like this gluten free stir fry recipe.

What vegetables are best for a stir-fry?

You can add any vegetables to this stir-fry. Pick your child’s favorites and just toss them into the pan :-). We like to use:

• Carrots
• Cauliflower
• Broccoli
• Mushrooms
• Zucchini

You don’t need a fancy wok to make this easy. I used these awesome non-stick pans which get really hot in order to sear the meat.

Is Stir Fry Sauce Gluten Free?

Most stir fry sauces are not gluten free. It is so easy to make a homemade Asian Gluten free stir fry sauce!

The most important thing is you need to read labels to make sure your ingredients are gluten free.

What brands make gluten free Asian sauces?

• Wok Mei makes delicious gluten free Asian sauces.
• Many Dynasty sauces are gluten free.
• Quite a few San J Sauces are gluten free.
• You can also make your own Hoisin Sauce Recipe.

(*NOTE DO NOT buy Lee Kum Kee. These contain wheat!!)

Tamari is a wonderful wheat-free, gluten free soy sauce that is really popular in gluten free cooking. Tamari has the same flavors like soy sauce as both are made with soy. The main difference is that tamari is made without wheat.

How to make gluten free beef and broccoli stir-fry:

First, chop up fresh broccoli.

Chop and wash a fresh leek.

Cook the steak in a skillet.

When the meat is almost done, remove it from the heat.

Stir fry the broccoli and leeks in a skillet.

Make the sauce, then add the meat and broccoli. Cook for 5 more minutes, serve hot!

What do you serve with stir-fry?

There are so many things you can serve with stir fry. Most common is white or brown rice but many also like quinoa. This recipe includes vermicelli rice noodles, but you can omit those and serve this stir-fry over rice instead.

Is stir-fry healthy?

Most stir-fries are healthy. You cook the vegetables on high heat, which seals in the nutrition and flavors. Stir-fry also includes a lot of green leafy vegetables adding to the nutrition.

What oils are best to use when cooking stir-fry?

I like to use avocado oil or coconut oil when I make a stir-fry. You can use any oil that is good at high heats. I avoid cheaper low-quality oils like canola and corn oil.
