You can’t beat a simple stir fry on a weeknight. When your batteries are running low and you need a nutritious meal, a stir fry is the perfect solution! There are thousands of variations of this dish, which has its roots in Chinese cuisine but has become popular all over the world for its simplicity and taste. Named for the technique used to make it, the stir fry ingredients are constantly moved around over a high heat to avoid burning. This stir fry is seasoned with Lofoten Seaweed’s Wok & Greens spice blend – a fragrant, aromatic blend of garlic, coriander, lime and winged kelp. You can experiment with toppings on this dish – peanuts and cashews provide texture and flavour, as do crispy onions, shichimi, furikake, or your favourite hot sauce!
