At the moment stir fries are a regular feature on our weekly meal plans. I tend to plan them at the start of the week. If I know I have a full day on Monday for example, as part of my weekly preparation session on the weekend I will cut up veggies, so they are ready to go for a stir fry. It just makes life that little bit easier.

This is a simple stir fry that the kids like. They particularly like the cashews!

To make the sauce I use Pureharvest Tamari soy sauce which is gluten free, you could use regular soy sauce if you wish.

You can serve the meal with rice, or enjoy it on its own.
