Tofu has an incredible ability to absorb flavors, and the Thai style of cooking has maximized the ability the humble peanut has to achieve mind-blowing culinary effects. Combine these ingredients, and you have the making of an entrée that will be the talk of the dinner party.
In this dish, bok choy’s robust flavor is softened by cauliflower and coconut oil, while being complemented by the salty tang of soy sauce and a garnish of green onions. So Nourished’s monk fruit erythritol sweetener rounds out the savory profile of the dish by adding a touch of sweetness that accentuates the other, sharper flavors.
Going low-carb doesn’t mean you have to give up Thai food. Adding stir-fry to your repertoire expands your ability to make dishes from all over the world without breaking your macros!
