Mouthwatering Motivation

This stir-fry is a classic in our family! We’ve made it for years. For our non-keto family members we add some spaghettini noodles towards the end but for those on a keto diet this is already a hardy dish, especially if you choose to add zucchini noodles!

It’s simple to prepare ahead of time for lunches or a later dinner.
