15-MINUTE STIR FRY

4 servings, 15 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tbsp ghee

• 2 tsp coriander seeds, freshly ground (it is okay if it is a little shell-y, doesn't have to be a perfect powder)

• 2 tsp fennel seeds, freshly ground (it is okay if it is a little shell-y, doesn't have to be a perfect powder)

• 2 spring onion stalks, chopped (white and green parts)

• 1/2 cup celery, chopped 

• 1 cup sugar snap peas (can sub chopped zucchini for vata)

• 1 cup pre-cooked edamame, shelled

• 1-2 handful of chopped greens (spinach, kale, chard, whatever you have on hand)

• 1 tbsp coconut aminos

• Fresh lime juice for serving

• Freshly chopped mint, cilantro, or parsley for serving

• Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat ghee in large sauce pan over medium heat. Add the ground fennel and coriander, heat until aromatic (about 30 seconds).

2. Add the chopped white part of the green onions (save the green leafy part for serving) and the celery. Saute until celery is slightly soft (2-3 minutes).

3. Add the sugar snap peas, shelled edamame, and salt to taste. Stir, cover, and heat until cooked (another 3-5 minutes stirring occasionally). Stir in the greens and saute until wilted (about 2 minutes).

Notes

• You can find pre-cooked shelled edamame in the frozen section of most grocery stores. I have even seen it in the produce section at Trader Joe's in the US. If you can't find the pre-cooked version, just soak the shelled frozen edamame in a bowl of hot water for 5 minutes. Give it a taste after 5 minutes to see if it is tender. If it is not tender, soak it for another minute or so until tender. Drain and then use.

• Option to serve this on its own as a light meal (great for kapha) or serve with any #grainsideoption.

• If vata, feel free to substitute zucchini for the sugar snap peas and reduce the amount of greens in this recipe and sub a root veggie such as chopped carrots or sweet potato.
