Keto Stir Fry Bowl

Intensity Notes:

• Cooking intensity refers to sustained heat and active stirring – you’ll need to stay by the stove.

• Spice intensity is moderate (like a mild Szechuan kick). Omit chili flakes or add more to taste.

Ingredients

For the Stir Fry Base

• 200g (7 oz) boneless chicken thigh – cut into thin strips (higher fat than breast)

• 1 tbsp avocado oil or coconut oil (high smoke point)

• 1 cup broccoli florets (about 100g)

• 1 small zucchini, julienned or sliced into half-moons

• 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

• 1/2 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

• 2 green onions, sliced (white & green parts separated)

For the Keto Stir Fry Sauce

• 3 tbsp coconut aminos (or tamari for soy-free; avoid regular soy sauce if strict on carbs – but small amount is fine)

• 1 tbsp rice vinegar (unseasoned)

• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

• 1 tbsp water

• 1/2 tsp xanthan gum (for thickening – optional but recommended)

• 1–2 tsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce (check carbs; use red pepper flakes for cleaner keto)

Optional Toppings & Extras

• 1 tbsp sesame seeds

• 1/4 cup sliced almonds or crushed pork rinds (for crunch)

• 1 soft-boiled egg (halved) – adds fat & protein

• Fresh cilantro or basil
