    An apple isn't first ingredient that typically comes to mind for a stir-fry, but the sweetness actually goes very well with the vegetables here, and it’s just different enough to make a nice change from the usual vegetable rotation.

    Apple and Vegetable Stir-Fry

    A gingery orange sauce pulls everything together – it’s a great side dish for all kinds of meals and so easy to throw together. It’s a perfect example of how simple concepts like stir-fry can be tweaked to make all kinds of interesting flavors without adding a lot of extra work.

    The sauce in this recipe uses coconut aminos – that’s a Paleo-friendly substitute for soy sauce that you can get at health-food stores or online. For the fish sauce, any brand is fine; just check the ingredients, as always, for hidden sugar or other junk.

    This would be tasty with any kind of Asian-inspired main dish (Korean short ribs, anyone?). And if you’re looking for dinner and not just a side, you could easily add a few chopped chicken breasts to transform this from a side dish into a full meal.
