    In your quest for easy-to-cook Asian-inspired recipes, we would like to point out one that you may have missed: black pepper chicken stir fry.

    The ingredients are basic, yet the flavors are phenomenal. The garlic, the ginger, the vinegar, along with lime juice and coconut aminos, meld together into a delicious sauce that is worthy of seconds.

    And if you happen to adore black pepper, then don't hold back. You can also experiment and use green or white peppercorns too if you have an excess supply in your spice rack...

    The beauty of black pepper, which has been discovered ages ago, is that it is anti-inflammatory, as well as an ingredient having the remarkable ability to help you digest fats. The strong little peppercorn is also full of trace minerals needed for a healthy, well functioning immune system.

    There is a reason we add a generous pinch to coconut lime chicken soup: it helps to lift your spirits up when you need it the most. Not to mention that this dish is completely satisfying because of the chicken, mushrooms, and asparagus.

    It is always a good idea to add some nourishing greens to your meal, perhaps in the form of a beet, broccoli, and mache salad with an almond vinaigrette. It also pairs well with a radish and cucumber salad - which can be prepared in a matter of a few short minutes.
