This stir-fry includes the familiar flavours of traditional Chinese and Japanese stir-fry dishes and is packed with immune-boosting and gut-supportive fermented soy ingredients, miso paste and tempeh. The addition of broccoli and cabbage also make this dish particularly supportive of liver detoxification and hormone balancing. Lastly, the star of the dish is the lower-carb, lower-calorie and mineral-rich glass-like kelp noodles that offer a lighter alternative to typical noodle stir-frys.
