Ingredients for Vegetable Stir Fry Recipe:

• 2 bags of mung bean sprouts
• 2 green bell peppers
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1/2 white or red onion
• 1 pound of ground beef
• Olive oil
• 3 tbs gluten-free Tamari soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp course ground black pepper
• 2 ground garlic cloves

Chinese mung bean sprouts are inexpensive.  They are generally under one dollar per bag.  

You can choose any types of bell peppers you wish.  We like to use green and red, but all of the colors will work and taste great.

We like to use red onions to add color and phytonutrients, but white onions taste great too.   Onions are an incredible super food, so I add them to everything.

Directions:

• Cut the bell peppers in strips, making sure you remove the core.
• Dice 1/2 onion to desired size.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large wok.  
• Add three tablespoons of Tamari soy sauce to the olive oil. 
  
• Spread the diced 1/2 onion it into the wok on medium heat.  
• Let the onion simmer for a few minutes until they soften.
  
• Add the ground beef to the wok, and allow it to simmer.  
• Mix and stir the ground beef and onions as they're simmering.
• Dice or grind 2 garlic cloves and add them to the beef mixture. 

Once the ground beef and onions are completely done, add the bell peppers, and mix it completely into the ground beef.   Allow the mixture cook for three to four minutes.   Be very careful not to over cook the bell peppers.  You want them to be firm and crisp.

Final Steps:

Open your mung bean bags, and add them to the mixture last.  Stir aggressively, making sure to turn and stir the mung beans, bell peppers and ground beef thoroughly.  

Mung bean sprouts cook very quickly, so make sure you only stir the mung bean sprouts for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes.  

We use a bowl and add piping hot, freshly made brown rice.  Then we stack the vegetables & beef on top of the rice.  

Our vegetable stir fry recipe can be eaten without rice as a phase one Atkins or South Beach diet plan.
