Soy-Free Veggie Stir-Through
What do you call a stir fry that never touches a frying pan? Well, we call it a stir-through. We've made this variety soy-free as so many typical stir fries are made on soy sauce, which is a bit of a shame if you have a sensitivity to soy!. The unlikely replacement ingredient is Vegemite™ (or Mighty Mite™ for a gluten-free alternative!) The veggies cook up in the steaming attachment, while a delicious sauce brews below. Want to stock up on veggies in a really yummy way? This recipe is for you. The best part is that using this method will give you that par-cooked, authentic stir-fry crunch. It's super easy and delicious.
