- 1 sweet onion, sliced
- 1 cup bok choy stems, sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced white button or baby bella
- 4 zucchini, sliced
- 1 jalapeno, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Sauce
- 2/3 cup sunflower butter, alternately peanut butter, almond butter
- 1/2 14 oz. can unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons sambal oelek
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- cooked chicken breasts
- lime wedges
Instructions
Start by prepping all the veggies:
- Peel and spiralize your sweet potatoes (if you are doing these from scratch), slice the onions, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, slice the zucchini and mushrooms.
Make the sauce:
- In a medium bowl, add the nut/seed butter of your choice, canned coconut milk, sambal oelek, and honey/brown sugar. Microwave for 40 seconds so it becomes easier to mix. Mix well until smooth, add salt and pepper to taste.
Stir fry
- For best results, cook the stir fry in two batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Heat 2–3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add half of the sliced onions and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
- Add half of the bok choy, mushrooms, and zucchini. Cook for 2 minutes undisturbed so they get some color, add the sweet potato noodles* and toss, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add half the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant.
- Add 1/2 cup of sauce to the pan and toss to coat. Repeat the stiry fry process with remaining half of the ingredients.
- Plate and serve with a slice of lime, protein of your choice and drizzle each bowl with more sauce.
Notes
The sweet potato noodles cook very quickly and can release moisture and get soggy if overcooked. So I recommend cooking them for only 4-5 minutes total, which is why I add them toward the end of the stir-fry time. Stop cooking before they get soft; they should still have a little bite.
