  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp chili sauce
  • 1 T tapioca flour

  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the coconut aminos, sesame oil, fish sauce, chili sauce, coconut sugar, tapioca flour, and water until it’s thoroughly combined. Set it aside.
  2. In a large sauté pan on medium heat, add the avocado oil, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute, occasionally stirring to keep it from burning.
  3. Add the bell pepper, asparagus, carrots, baby corn, broccoli, and bamboo shoots to the pan. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
  4. Continue stirring occasionally and add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 7-10 minutes. The shrimp should be fully cooked and the vegetables soft. Add the sauce to the pan, stir to combine everything, and cook until the sauce thickens about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Remove the stir fry from the heat and top with the chopped cilantro. Serve with cauliflower rice or white rice.
