    Everyday Meals - Stir-fry with Easy Peanut Sauce!

    This blog generates income via ads and this post may contain affiliate links · This blog uses cookies,. For more information see our Contact, Terms and Privacy Policy.

    This recipe for Stir-fry with Easy Peanut Sauce is just what you need to make after a busy day. When you don't have much time,  but want something that tastes great, uses what is in your pantry and fridge and is a little different than a plain stir-fry!

    After such a huge response from Everyday Meals - Halloumi, Tomato and Basil Pasta Bake I have added another one of my stock-standard dishes - Stir-fry with Easy Peanut Sauce.

    This is what we have when life is busy and we want something easy to throw together and tasty. I won't say that this is a fancy dish because it is not but it sure is one that is easy and I always have these ingredients in my fridge or cupboard.

    You can use beef strips, or pork slices but we often have the stir-fry with chicken.

    The best part about stir-fry is that you can add whatever vegetables you like and you can tailor it to everyone's tastes.

    I think this recipe is a hit in my home because it has a peanut sauce that is not too overpowering and you can still taste the flavours of the vegetables and chicken.

    3 tips to making the Stir fry with Easy Peanut Sauce!

    Everyday Meal - Stir-fry with Easy Peanut Sauce Recipe!

    This is not a recipe for exact measurements... But one where a handful of this vegetable and a handful of another...is what makes it easy!

     

    For this recipe to be gluten-free, I use rice noodles.

    This stir-fry is great if you are Coeliac, gluten intolerant, gluten-sensitive and are wheat-free.

     

    You can add udon noodles...or any other type of noodles if you are not 'gluten-free'.
