Stir-fry night should also be called clean-out-your-refrigerator night to make a delicious, quick meal! Let this recipe serve more as a guide to using up what you have on hand to create a quick meal that everybody will love, with a really delicious paleo stir fry sauce. We serve this with a garlic scallion cauliflower rice, but you could alternative serve the stir fry with regular white rice if you would like!
You could also alternative use another meat here, like thin sliced steak or pork, or you could really fill up on the veggies and make this meatless!

Fantastic stir fry. We really liked the kick from the chili garlic paste. Thanks for a great recipe!
When do you add the mushrooms? First round of veges or second? Thanks!
Hi Jana! First round–recipe updated to reflect 🙂
This is pretty close to whole 30 right? Is the garlic paste non-compliant because of preservatives? Making a homemade garlic paste would solve that!
It is Whole30!
This was so delicious tonight! I love your recipes, Lexi!
