Must try Stir Fry Ideas:
Must have’s:
• Garlic or ginger – or both! Optional,
yet oh so good!
Chickpeas/Pintos/Lentils – In this recipe we
combined mushrooms, zucchini and chickpeas. Simply rinse
your canned legume of choice before stir frying with veggies.
• Salt-reduced nonGMO Tamari sauce (the
deliciously gluten-free version of soya)
• A beautifully-flavoured oil, such as Sesame
or Peanut (small bottle is all you need)
• A handful of sesame/sunflower/pumpkin
seeds. The bulk area of the supermarket is
great for this!
• A couple of cans of beans: Chickpeas and
Pintos work great in a stir-fry
• A couple of packages of rice or soba
noodles, to have at hand in case you don’t
have leftover rice.
Grain-free/Paleo – If you prefer to cut back on grains
and starches, use thinly-sliced zucchini as your ‘noodles’. Plus
you only need 4-5 shrimp per person, making it economical.
• A large fry pan with a lid (we prefer the
non-stick ‘ROCK’ type)

Soybean, also called soya bean, is the
number one genetically modified (GMO)
crop in the world. Most GMOs have
been engineered to withstand the direct
application of toxic herbicides, which
conventional soya beans are highly sprayed
with. The World Health Organization
(WHO) determined in 2015 that the
herbicide glyphosate (they key ingredient
in Roundup®) is “probably carcinogenic to
humans.” GMO crops are also responsible
for the emergence of “superweeds”
Stir-Fry Rice – The key to making a real good fried rice
is to use left-over rice, never fresh. Cool it in the refrigerator
overnight, separate using fingers, then fry first in a bit of oil
before adding sauce, vegetables or proteins. Delicious for
breakfast too, with some scrambled egg added!
and “superbugs,” which can only be killed with
ever more toxic poisons and antibiotics. Several
studies indicate that GMO soya can cause chronic
inflammation, interfere with hormone production,
mineral deficiencies, block protein digestion, and
may be a carcinogen due to its elevated concentration
of formaldehyde due to spraying. Although Canada
does not yet lawfully require any GMO labeling, the
above shown “Non-GMO Project” logo is one which
consumers can trust when looking for products that
have been verified to not contain any GMO ingredients.
