Super Stir Fry

This isn’t your normal stir fry. It is packed full of immune boosting properties! We all know the benefits ginger, turmeric and garlic have, but did you know that bell peppers have almost twice the amount of vitamin c than found in citrus fruits?! In addition, broccoli is supercharged with a plethora of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and fibre. Cabbage is also high in many nutrients including vitamin c. Don’t have some of these veggies on hand but have others to use up? No problem, One of the great things about stir fry is that substitutions are always welcome.
