Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz Cabbage
  • 9 oz Button mushrooms
  • 4 oz Brown lentils (canned)
  • 1 Carrots (medium)
  • 1 Onion (medium)
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup Vegetable broth
  • ⅓ cup Soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 1+½ Tbsp Maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp Cornstarch
  • ¼ tsp Sriracha (or any other chili paste)
  • 1 Tbsp Ginger powder
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 4.5 oz Rice (cooked)

Method
 

  1. Combine vegetable broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, cornstarch, sriracha, ginger powder, and minced garlic in a bowl, mixing thoroughly until smooth.
  2. Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium heat and pour in the coconut oil, then add thinly sliced onions, cooking them until just soft, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms, shredded cabbage, and julienned carrots to the pan and toss continuously over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes, seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Stir in the drained canned lentils and freshly whisked stir-fry sauce, gently mixing everything together.
  5. Allow the mixture to simmer while stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables.
  6. Plate the stir fry alongside cooked rice and finish with a sprinkle of chopped spring onions for garnish.

Notes

  • For best results, make sure all ingredients are prepped before cooking since stir-frying happens quickly over high heat. This dish can be served with any type of rice or enjoyed as is for a low-carb option. Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
