Equipment

Large nonstick pan

Ingredients

Sauce:

1 ¼ teaspoon Xanthan Gum
1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
½ teaspoon Salt
4 tablespoon Coconut Aminos or soy sauce
2 teaspoon Sesame Oil
1 ½ cup Chicken broth

Stir Fry:

1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
½ Small Onion sliced
1 tablespoon Ginger Puree
3 Garlic Cloves Pressed or finely minced
1 ½ lbs Boneless skinless chicken breasts thinly sliced
8 oz Mushrooms
1 Carrot Peeled and sliced
2 cups Bok Choy washed and chopped
2 cup Fresh Bean Sprouts rinsed well
1 cup Snow Peas optional

Instructions

Sauce:

In a small bowl whisk together xanthan gum, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
Add coconut aminos and sesame oil, stir well to combine - it should be free of lumps.
Whisk in chicken broth, then set sauce aside.

Stir Fry:

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high hear. Add onion slices, ginger, and garlic, stirring well to combine.
Allow to cook for a couple of minutes, until onion JUST starts to soften.
Add chicken to the pan, continue cooking until the surface of the chicken pieces are cooked - white - but not browned.
It does not need to be cooked through at this point.
Add mushrooms and carrot slices, stir well and cook for another couple of minutes.
Finally, add bok choy, bean sprouts, peas - if using - and the sauce. (Give it a quick whisk again, before pouring it in!)
Stir well and allow to simmer for another 2-4 minutes, until bok choy has wilted and all vegetables are heated through.

Notes

Nutritional information includes everything shown.

If you'd like it to be even lower carb, you can skip the peas - it'll save you 2 grams of carbs per serving.

Cutting the bean spouts down to 1 cup instead of 2 saves you another gram of carbs per serving.

Also, please note: The nutritional information is calculated by recipe software. There's no reason the sodium should be that high, based on these ingredients. I've looked into it as much as I can, I can't see any reason for it.
