Food groups in stir fry

[wiggal]

Hey all!

We are going through a stir fry phase at the minute - figure it must be quite good for losing weight but we are wondering if we are missing out on any important food groups?

So far this week we have had it with beef, pork and tonight chicken :-)

Thanks!

Turkey is really low in fat and also prawns are good in stir-frys

a lot of stir fry sauces are high in salt. Noodles are high in fat

Try some fish or even try it with no meat at all

If you want to do a no meat version, replace it with butter beans and button mushrooms. Also try serving it with brown rice rather than noodles for a change.

But I doubt you'll be missing out on anything, its a healthy dish for a main meal. Plenty of protein, vegetables and a little bit of fat all sounds pretty good to me.

We dont have it with noodles, just meat and the stir fry mix vegetables and sauce and some rice.

Try rice noodles they are lower in fat and just make sure you have lots of veg as well. Hows the new job?

We havent been having noodles as my fiance seems to be having problems with wheat so have been trying to cut it out completely.

Glad yr enjoying it :-)

Rice noodle are made with rice flour. Worth a trip to an asian market, you can ger all the base ingrediants for the sauces dead cheap - lots do an online service as well
