Cantonese dishes are a great source of healthy dinner options for those seeking simple meal preparation to fit into a busy lifestyle. Asian cuisine became a nutritional focus when we decided to transform our diet to improve our health and live healthy. Many former menu staples had to be replaced with foods that were low in fat and carbohydrates. Asian stir fry often includes fresh vegetables that are the focus of the meal with minimal meat protein, fats and carbohydrates.
It is imperative to prepare these meals from home as takeout is often laden with excess sugar, salt and fat. Fortunately, once one becomes familiar with the ingredients and adds them to their pantry, asian cuisine is not complicated to prepare. If you regularly follow us you will find that we post many asian recipes that we recommend you include in your cooking repertoire. A founding goal of our food blog was to increase the number of healthy recipes our followers could prepare and assist you in sustaining a healthy diet.
The vegetables in this recipe and most asian recipes can easily be substituted for others that may be in season or that you may prefer. Use locally grown or, better yet, home grown produce to add additional flavor and vibrancy. The dish we prepared for this post includes home grown squash and red peppers with locally grown asparagus. A farmers market is a great resource to obtain fresh produce. You can find a local farmers market through this link or search “farmers market near me”.
What to serve with Cantonese chicken and vegetable stir fry?
This dish goes well over rice (try brown rice for addition health benefits), quinoa or noodles. We suggest limiting the amount of carbohydrates to one cup of cooked rice. We provide a simple marinade for the chicken. To save time, you can also use a store bought marinade. However, realize that saving time comes with a cost. Store bought marinades will likely include added sugar, salt and other unwanted ingredients.
