You can combine anything you fancy, so be free to play with flavors, textures, and spices.

Also, ginger, garlic, and chilis are three stir-fry staples that are an incredible source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components! I listed fifteen different stir-fry ideas to inspire you! Write to me in the comments; which one is your favorite?

Cabbage Stir Fry

Cabbage is a super low-calorie ingredient stuffed with micronutrients, so it is a flawless base for stir-fry. Add some ground chicken for a lean protein source, plus some carrots, onions, and cilantro for the best smack. I love the idea of serving it with brown rice noodles!

Healthy Cashew Chicken Stir Fry

Chicken tenders, broccoli, and red bell pepper are the usual ingredients of stir-fries, but the addition of raw cashews is genius! What’s more, the sauce is definitely a healthier variety, as it calls for lower sodium ingredients! Serve it with brown rice and green onions for the best taste!

Kale and Sweet Potato Stir Fry

This is probably one of my favorite dinner options – fantastic stir fry with sweet potato, tri-colored quinoa, kale, and mushrooms. It is incredibly aromatic but still low in sodium due to the liquid aminos, soyaki, and garlic in the recipe.

Kale and Sweet Potato Stir Fry
I like kale, but sometimes it is difficult for me to eat a raw-kale salad. It doesn’t give me that same satisfying crunch that romaine lettuce does.
