Last dish of our challenge....Stir Fry!!

Yes, the day has finally arrived... we have successfully completed our first paleo challenge at FireForce CrossFit Elmhurst. We have started off 2013 with a bang, proving both to ourselves and others that we really are what we eat. We all deserve a big pat on the back for the dedication that it has taken. For some it may have been easier... but it's probably safe to say that it was by no means easy for anyone. 

Stir Fry and Fried Rice

Fried Rice

1 med to large Head of Cauliflower

2-3 Tbs Coconut Oil

1 Med Onion (diced)

3 Garlic Cloves (minced)

1/2 Cup Carrots, (diced)

1/4- 1/2 Cup Frozen Sweet Green Peas

1 Lrg Egg (lightly beaten)

1/4 Cup Green Onions (chopped)

Sea Salt & Black Pepper to taste

Coconut Aminos

Instructions

Place your cauliflower in a food processor or blender (we used our Ninja).

Prep the rest of your ingredients and place those to the side. Preheat two woks or sauté pans over medium-high heat. (It's important not to crowd your pans, this is why two are needed). Add about two tbs of oil and the onions to one of your hot pans. Fry the onions until soft.

While the onions are cooking, it's time to cook your cauliflower. Turn the heat up to high for this one, and be sure to not crowd the pan so that you can get a good brown. I had too much cauliflower in that I had to cook it in two batches. Once your cauliflower is browned make a hole in the center and pour your beaten egg until the cauliflower begins to thicken.

Back to the pan with the onions, add your garlic, carrots, peas etc and continue to sauté. Be sure to keep tossing around your veggies so they brown. Once both are browned combine and add your green onions as a garnish. 

Stir Fry

Ingredients

Snow Peas

Meat of your choice (we opted for Grass Fed Sirloin Tips)

Onion

Red Pepper

Green Onion

Baby Broccoli

Bella Mushrooms

Sesame Oil

Olive Oil

Instructions

This one is a bit easier :) Cook your meat in one pan (I seasoned with salt and pepper). Sauté your veggies in another pan, I used a splash of sesame oil and olive oil for the veggies. Once both are cooked, combine and enjoy! Use your coconut aminos in lieu of soy sauce. I found it not to be as strong as soy sauce, so don't be shy when splashing it on your asian dish. I highly recommend giving this dish a try, I actually surprised myself with this one.
