Rainbow Stir Fry with Black Bean Noodles
Stir fry is one of those dinners that I crave. I crave the loads of vegetables, chewy chunks of protein, and whatever bed of rice or noodles it lies on. For this variation, I went away from traditional soy sauce or ginger flavors and used a smokey tomato sauce instead. The result was a warm, rich, and saucy bowl filled with Vitamin C and lots of protein... both great for recovering from a long day or hard workout.
You can easily modify this recipe with whatever protein you have on hand, tofu would work great. Try different mixes of veggies. I found these worked nice with the smokey tomato flavor, but if you don't have access to this type of sauce then simply topping with Liquid Amino Acids or a little sesame oil would work good too. The macros are unbelievable. This is a high protein, low carb dinner with low calories.
