Quick No Cook Sun Dried Tomato Sauce

Stir-fry is an excellent way to add vegetables to your diet. The even, hot heat of a wok allows for quick cooking, yielding crisp, nutrient-dense veggies. Safe for very high heat, avocado oil is the perfect medium for stir-frying in your wok, which will conduct heat at temperatures much greater than the average non-stick skillet. If working with beef use your favorite marinade for added tenderness in your meat. If choosing the chicken option, no need to marinade beforehand. Use your favorite vegetables to personalize this dish. Top over rice or soba noodles or enjoy as-is.
