Notes
- Be sure to use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari to keep this gluten-free.
- Be sure to use LIGHT sesame oil instead of dark sesame oil for this stir-fry--also be sure your sesame oil does not smell rancid before using.
- Sesame oil needs to be kept in the refrigerator to remain fresh.
- In place of sesame oil, feel free to use canola or peanut oil.
- Use maple syrup in place of honey for a Paleo-Friendly recipe, or omit the sugar altogether if desired.
- Leftover can be refrigerated for up 3 days.
