My husband and I absolutely love this stir fry because it satisfies so many cravings. You can make it as spicy as you want, and if you don’t like spicy, simply take out the crushed red pepper and consider reducing the chili paste. I also love that there is an abundant amount of vegetables and that it’s under 400 calories! Just be sure to use ingredients with reduced sodium and go light on the salt if you are sodium-conscientious. =)
