Sesame Chicken Stir Fry (without soy)

×Published: by This post may contain affiliate links.Jump to RecipePrint RecipeThis Chicken Stir Fry without Soy Sauce is a healthy dinner with tons of flavor. Vegetables and chicken are tossed with a spicy sesame stir fry sauce. Less than 30 minutes, this recipe is lower in sodium and just as delicious as a traditional stir fry.Soy sauce is made from fermented soy beans, so even if a product states there is no MSG, higher levels of glutamic acid or free glutamate is still present. For people on a migraine diet, soy products are avoided as a fairly common trigger, which also includes tamari even though they are gluten free. Whatever your need to avoid soy sauce is, this recipe will hit the spot.Jump to:Make the sauce - Start by mixing together the garlic, ginger, sesame oil, coconut aminos, and tahini. A whisk or a food processor can help to blend this till it's nice and smooth. Ground mustard can bring some heat. Start with 1 teaspoon and taste, then add more as needed. I typically use 2 teaspoons (see above photo). Brown the chicken - Use a large pan and spray with a mild oil (I used avocado). Then sear chicken for 3 minutes over medium high heat until it gets a golden brown. Use a wood spoon to turn the chicken so it gets cooked through and lightly brown on all sides - about 6-7 minutes total. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Add in vegetables - Stir the vegetables into the same pan, using a splash of stir fry sauce or vegetable broth to lift up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir often for about 5 minutes or until vegetables have softened. Push them aside and add mushrooms, if using, cooking another 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften. Stir in soy free sauce - Add the chicken to the pan with the vegetables and stir in the sauce over medium heat, scraping up any brown bits at the bottom. The sauce should sizzle and bubble as it thickens over another 1-2 minutes. Serve over rice.The veggies are totally up to you, but one thing to note is if you're very sensitive to glutamate and avoiding soy for that reason, you may also want to leave out mushrooms. Mushrooms are naturally higher in glutamate, however some people find they fair better with them over soy sauce. Good vegetable options are:You can definitely make this into a vegetarian or vegan meal by adding 2 cups of more chopped vegetables instead of chicken.I served this with Trader Joe's microwavable brown rice mix, which takes 3 minutes to steam! Grilled Bok Choy would also work well with this recipe. I would recommend not adding too many sides as you truly get a full meal with this recipe - lots of vegetables and protein!If you like this soy free chicken stir fry, you may also like these recipes.If you make this, tag me #thedizzycook or @thedizzycook on&nbsp;Facebook&nbsp;and&nbsp;Instagram.

When I'm in a rush I buy the prepackaged cabbage slaw with broccoli shoots and it works well.ReplyThis sauce was delicious! The fresh ginger in the sauce, the tahini, all of it: yum! I used the full 2 teaspoons of the ground mustard and it was perfect. Not too hot at all. On a whim, I added a sliced scallion to the sauce for an added layer which was good. Grateful for the suggestion to add more salt to reduce the sweetness of the coconut aminos. I will put this recipe on repeat 🙂ReplyAlicia do you know if Truffle oil is a trigger?ReplyOh my gosh, this is such a great recipe. Wish I’d tried it sooner! We’ll be making it often!ReplyThis is my new favorite dish! So easy to make and filled with veggies and flavor! I wish I would have tried it sooner!ReplyThis satisfies my craving for takeout! So delish!!ReplyThis recipe is really, really good and somewhat easy, just make sure you get all the different ingredients cut and all spices and measuring spoons ready to go (cause it moves fast), once your sauce is ready. It also satisfies my hunger for Thai and other asian influenced foods which I miss the most on this diet.ReplySo delicious and easy to make. I cut the mustard powder slightly as I found it a bit bitter and add a tablespoon of honey. One of my favourite Dizzy Cook recipesReplyI have made this for my large family several times and they really like it. I just use whatever vegetables I can find in the refrigerator. Thanks for the migraine friendly recipe Alicia!ReplyThis is my new favourite stir fry sauce recipe. It is absolutely delicious!!!ReplyWe made this last night and I ate it...feel fine so far! If it is going to be an issue, any ideas on how soon would I know?ReplyAlicia, why do you say no Coconut Secret bran? I see it just has coconut tree sap and sea salt as the ingredients.ReplyI honestly have made this dish weekly since I first tried it about a month and a half ago. My boyfriend and I LOVE it. It's really easy to make once you get it down - and the sauce is DELICIOUS! I sometimes mix in cooked brown rice at the end, in which case I will make extra sauce to accommodate for the added bulk. SO GOOD.ReplySubscribe for new recipes, tips, and discounts.Subscribe for new recipes, tips, and discounts.
