This gluten-free Chicken Stirfry is quick and easy to make from scratch and tastes delicious. It can be customised to use whatever vegetables you have available in your fridge.
When making this stir fry, I used capsicum, snow peas, spring onion and spinach as that is what we have growing in our garden, though you could also use broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, baby corn, or zucchini. You could also leave out the cashew nuts.
If you like lots of sauce to help flavour the rice or noodles you are serving this stir-fry with, you could double the sauce ingredients.
The sauce is a great stir fry base sauce, you could easily change up the chicken as well, using beef or tofu if you wish.
