Thai Chili Lime Vegetable Stir Fry with Rice

Thai Red Chili Hot Sauce surrounds a bounty of vegetables that have been stir-fried in a wok with a touch of coconut oil. We've enjoyed this meal three times already since creating it. I love serving it knowing it has cups upon cups of vegetables. The Thai Red Chili Peppers are surprisingly good for you too! Chilis have been shown to help burn fat, lower blood sugar levels, boost circulation, help thin the blood helping to prevent strokes, reduce inflammation, provide pain relief, clear congestion, stop the spread of prostate cancer and more.

Pass me a plate, I'm taking care of myself with a big serving of vegetables, rice and chilis that will make me feel full yet fabulous! You can too! Here is the anticipated recipe, this was very popular on instagram!

Vegan, Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar Free, Nut-Free

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 Cups Rice (White, Brown, Black..)
• 3 Cups Water
• 1 batch Thai Red Chili Hot Sauce

3. Wash and chop the vegetables.
4. When the rice is done, set aside and keep warm.
5. Heat 1 Tbsp. of coconut oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Roll the oil around. Add the onion and saute, let it begin to caramelize, add the garlic and stir. Add the balance of the vegetables, adding the additional coconut oil if needed. Saute the vegetables for 2-3 minutes, add 1/4 cup of Thai Red Chili Hot Sauce, fresh cilantro and mix well. Leave on for a flavor infusion for 1-2 minutes. It will be done when the sweet peas, carrots and broccoli are easy to eat yet still a touch crisp and vibrant. Taste testing is a fun way to see!
6. Pack 3/4 cups of rice in a measuring cup. Thwack the end of the measuring cup to release the rice into the bowl. Surround with the vegetable stir fry and serve with a few slices of cucumber. Repeat for the second bowl. I'll often give my husband 1 cup of rice and me 1/2 cup. Tip: Save the balance of the rice for vegetable fried rice, recipe coming next. Enjoy!!

I hope you all enjoy this delicious new recipe!!

Love,
