Need some Stir-Fry Recipes

[Tracy14]

Hi,

Me and my husband want to get away from the stir though jars sauces you just mix into diced chicken or beef and serve up. My daughter has been having some allergies lately to food when I have been using these jars. Plus its scary to think what goes into these jars sometimes. So I want to start cooking stir fry from scratch. Today I brought some sauces like oyster sauce, plum sauce etc. Plus a lot of fresh vegies you use for stir fries. Nothing can be tomato based as my daughter is allergic to tomatoes.

Thanks in advanced.

Re: Need some Stir-Fry Recipes

Our dinner last night was so yum. It was nice having fresh vegies in it. Not just out of a frozen packet as I usually buy. I have bookmarked that site on my laptop.

I found this site in Karman Foods valuable, plus the products they are using absolutely authentic.

I have found with some things like this you can use a base of ingredients and just change out flavor profile. So reading these they use soy sauce and often some broth. Then change it up with lemon, ginger, pb, etc. I am diabetic and have to adjust everything - cooking most of our food from scratch. I can't have soy sauce, most jar sauces or cornstarch, etc. Even canned broth is high glycemic because of the carrots they use to make it. I may try some of these with my own spin. I get tired of making the same things.
