Keto Banana Blossom Stir-Fry

1.Prepare the banana blossoms: Drain the canned banana blossoms and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Gently squeeze out excess water. Slice them into bite-sized pieces if they are too large.

2.Heat the oil: Heat avocado oil or coconut oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.

3.Sauté aromatics: Add minced garlic and sliced onion to the hot oil. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

4.Add vegetables: Add the sliced red bell pepper, green beans, and mushrooms to the wok. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

5.Incorporate banana blossoms: Add the prepared banana blossoms to the wok. Stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes, allowing them to heat through and absorb some of the flavors.

6.Add sauces and seasonings: Pour in the tamari or coconut aminos, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine all ingredients.

7.Season and finish: Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has slightly thickened and coats all the ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.

8.Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro or green onions before serving. This stir-fry is excellent on its own or served with cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.
