TIPS
- You can get stir fry sauce from your local grocery store(low sugar) to add to your recipe instead of the one used here. This will save you time.
- Many oriental restaurants will have stir fry as take out but many may contain lots of added sugar or breaded chicken which will make it not keto or low carb.
