Kelp Noodle Steak Stir Fry
I love this dinner because it is so quick and easy to put together all in one skillet. The Asian-inspired flavors are so delicious and flavorful to satisfy you.
What Are Kelp Noodles?
Noodles made from kelp of course! They have a neutral flavor, so they will take on the taste of whatever you cook them in, In this case, it will be a tasty Asian noodle. Kelp is full of iodine, phytonutrients, calcium, and antioxidants. They are hard and crunchy in the package, so it is important to do the baking soda lemon juice soak to soften them.
Ingredients and Benefits:
Kelp noodles: Rich in iodine, calcium, iron, carotenoids, and fiber to reduce inflammation and support the thyroid.
Lemon juice & baking soda: used to soften the kelp noodles.
Pasture-raised/grass-fed steak: Higher in conjugated linoleic acid, omega-3s, and vitamins to improve function and reduce inflammation. Pasture-raised meat also reduces the carbon in the atmosphere due to the rotational grazing. I get my steak locally or I purchase 100% pasture-raised meat online from US Wellness or Grassroots Co Op (Use code “LIVNATURALLY” for 15% off)
Stir-fry vegetables: Add phytonutriets and fiber. I used bell peppers, carrots, and mushrooms. Be creative and switch it up for a diverse range of plants!
Coconut aminos: Contains 17 amino acids, probiotics, and antioxidants. It tastes similar to soy sauce, but has a little more sweetness.
Sesame oil: Contains vitamins, antioxidants, and provides the nutty signature Asian flavor.
Garlic: Has antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties. Tip: let garlic sit out for 10-15 minutes after mincing so the enzyme allicin is activated and the benefits are retained!
