Cabbage stir fry sauce ingredients

As this is the recipe we reach for when we're short on time, we've kept the ingredients here very simple. We use coco aminos instead of soy sauce as it has a similar flavor with way less sodium. It also has a slight sweetness which works well in this recipe. If you don't have any on hand, you can substitute soy sauce.

For the chicken, we mix the coco aminos with a little bit of mayonnaise which makes the chicken just a tiny bit creamy.

We've kept the ingredient list short and sweet for the sake of simplicity. But if you have a few extra minutes and want to spice up this recipe, you can add a few minced garlic cloves, 2 or 3 teaspoons of minced ginger, and a teaspoon of sesame oil when you're cooking the veggies.
