INGREDIENT NOTES:

STEAK:

• It is ideal for stir-fries because flank steak cooks rapidly and retains its tenderness when we make thin slices against the grain.

KIMCHI:

• You can change the amount of kimchi to suit the preferred level of heat. Kimchi adds tang, spice, and probiotics.

SESAME OIL:

• Sesame oil enhances the Korean delicacies and adds richness and a nutty scent.

TAMARI:

• Tamari provides the salty umami, which make the dish free from gluten and also make it keto.

RICE VINEGAR:

• Rice vinegar counterbalances the richness of sesame oil.

GARLIC:

• The garlic should be fresh and minced for the flavor to distribute uniformly throughout the stir-fry.

GINGER:

• Ginger adds the warmth and spice. The freshly grated ginger provides the greatest flavor.

ZUCCHINI:

• Zucchini is a ketogenic vegetable that softens a little while maintaining a low carbohydrate content.

BELL PEPPER:

• Bell peppers offer natural sweetness, color, and crunch without increasing the amount of carbohydrates.

AVOCADO OIL:

• Avocado oil is perfect for stir-frying at high heat because of its high smoke point.

GREEN ONIONS:

• Green onions lend a subtle onion note and freshness added at the end for brightness.

SESAME SEEDS:

• Sesame seeds offer texture and a final hint of nuttiness, although they are optional.
