Weight Watchers Points: The number of Smart Points for this recipe depends on what vegetables and meats you use. But you can figure it out yourself by making sure you add the points for the meat plus 2-3 points for the remaining ingredients (includes hoisin sauce, oil) per serving.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. fresh meat or frozen, thawed such as top sirloin, ground beef, chicken thighs or breasts, ground turkey, ground pork or pork chops cut into bite sized pieces, or shrimp
- kosher salt
- 3 T. Homemade hoisin sauce this sauce is super quick to make or you can use store bought
- 1 T. fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 T. sesame oil or vegetable oil divided
- 6 c. fresh vegetables use a variety of what you have such as: carrots, mushrooms, red or yellow peppers, onions- any -green, red, sweet, broccoli, broccolini, snow peas, sugar snap peas, green cabbage, kale, bok choy, radishes, jalapeños
- 1-2 T. sriracha sauce if you wish to make it spicer
Instructions
- Cut vegetables into small bite sized pieces. I usually put them all together in a big bowl.
- If not using ground meat, cut the meat into bite sized pieces. Pat with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt.
- In a large nonstick skillet or wok, heat about 1 T. sesame oil until hot.
- Add meat (cook in batches if needed). Stir fry just until done. (With beef, cook until barely pink). With fattier cuts, drain the grease if needed. Remove from pan and place on a separate plate or bowl.
- Add 1 T. sesame oil to wok/pan.
- Add fresh garlic, ginger, and vegetables. Stir fry for about 3-8 minutes until almost tender. (It depends on how you like it, I like mine a little more cooked than raw but not over cooked). Add homemade hoisin sauce, cooked meat and heat until everything is hot. Add sriracha sauce if you like it spicier.
- Serve over cauliflower rice or rice.
