👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Pack in Zero-Point Veggies: Load your stir-fry with non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas. They add volume and nutrients without adding points.
- Use Lean Proteins: Opt for skinless chicken breast or tofu as your protein source. Both are low in points and will keep you satisfied.
- Control the Sauce: Make your own stir-fry sauce using reduced-sodium soy sauce, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, and a touch of honey or stevia. This way, you can manage the ingredients and keep the points in check.
💭 FAQs
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove over medium heat until warmed through.
Yes, you can substitute ground chicken or turkey for beef. Note that this may alter the dish's flavor and the Weight Watchers points value.
If you prefer not to use fish sauce, you can replace it with an equal amount of soy sauce or tamari. This will slightly change the flavor profile but still provide a savory depth.
Absolutely! Feel free to incorporate vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots to add variety and nutrients. Be mindful that adding certain vegetables may affect the Weight Watchers points.
