When my husband and I first started dating, his mother would make stir fry almost weekly. At that point I would dread it! My immature taste buds couldn’t stand the thought of vegetables. Yuk!
But now, I can’t get enough. Give me all the chicken and veggies. I could literally eat chicken and veggies every single night and not get sick of it. Ok…maybe I could but I wouldn’t turn down a good stir fry now.
Over the weekend I was craving stir fry with a sweet sauce. Normally I would throw butter, garlic, and maple syrup together and drench it over a stir fry, however getting back into keto, that wasn’t happening.
So I came up with a keto-fied version and it was bomb!

So I was more focused on getting this sauce recipe written down so I didn’t take too many pictures. Sorry! But I’m assuming you want the recipe and don’t care too much about the pictures, so moving on.
If you have made stir fry before you know it is super simple. You cook the chicken, remove it, add the veggies in until they’re cooked, and then throw everything back in together and wah – la you have stir fry.
But for this stir fry, the keto version, you just need to have the right ingredients to make sure it’s keto. Easy enough.
The Sauce
Swerve brown sugar, coconut aminos, Worcestershire sauce , garlic powder, and butter. That’s it.
5 ingredients and all you have to do is mix it over medium high heat until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
So easy and so good!
Non Keto Version
This stir fry is so simple and can easily be made as a non keto version. Use regular brown sugar instead of swerve, and mix in some rice. Done and simple!
Frozen Veggies
You can use fresh veggies if you have them on hand, I usually like to do a fridge clean out and throw whatever is in there together. However, this time I used the frozen Asian stir fry mix. If you do this, just throw the sauce it comes with away and use the veggies only. I know it can be tempting to just warm the sauce up, but trust me making your own is so much better, and healthier!
