🍲 Animal-Based Stir-Fry Master Recipe

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep animal-based eating exciting without getting stuck in a rut, stir-frys are the answer. They’re quick, flexible, and can be made lean or hearty depending on your goals. Best of all, they let you play with different proteins and flavors while staying true to an animal-based framework — with just a few strategic add-ins to support digestion, energy, and gut health.

🥩 Base Ingredients (choose 1–2 proteins)

• Lean beef strips or ground beef

• Chicken breast or thighs (trimmed)

• Shrimp or scallops

• Cod, salmon, or other white fish

• Ground turkey or bison

• Liver (optional, mix with another protein)

• Egg whites (scrambled in at the end for extra protein)

🥒 Veggie Add-Ins (optional, choose 3+)

These are light, low-irritant, and supportive for digestion:

• Zucchini (thin matchsticks)

• Mushrooms (sliced or chopped)

• Carrots (grated or julienned)

• Scallions or green onion

• Onion or garlic

• Bamboo shoots

• Potato (parboiled, then cubed — great for those ready to test starches)

🌿 Flavor Boosters (pick 1–2)

Keep it simple and savory:

• Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) or coconut aminos

• Fish sauce (umami-rich, use sparingly)

• Pickle juice splash (gut-friendly, adds tang)

• Apple cider vinegar

• Lemon or lime juice

• Fresh ginger (grated)

💪 Gut-Healing & Binding Add-Ons

• Collagen powder (stir in at the end for structure + protein)

• Bone broth (use as cooking liquid instead of oil)

• Gelatin (optional, thickens sauce)

🔪 Instructions

1. Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high. Add a splash of bone broth (or 1 tsp ghee/tallow if you want a little fat).

2. Cook your protein until just browned, then remove and set aside.

3. Add your veggie choices to the skillet and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until tender.

4. Return protein to the pan. Add flavor boosters (tamari, vinegar, fish sauce, etc.) and a splash of broth. Simmer for 1–2 minutes.

5. Stir in collagen or gelatin if using, to thicken the sauce.

6. Finish with lemon juice, scallions, or fresh herbs. Serve hot, optionally on white rice, if tolerated.
