Healthy san choy bau recipe

san-choy-bau-feature

A healthy version of healthy san choy bau is the ultimate in low carb paleo style dinners. We love this recipe for the easy factor and the yum factor.

In this particular recipe, we added sweet potato however you can swap this for a lower carb veggie (like cauliflower) to make it keto. You can even leave it out all together… we just like adding extra veggies in when we can! 

We also use coconut aminoes but feel free to use tamari sauce as it is generally more cost-effective and easier to find in most good supermarkets. 

Also! Swap the meat to your fave, we’ve tried this healthy san choy bau recipe with beef mince, chicken mince and pork mince. They’re all super yum.

If you make this healthy dinner recipe let us know! Share a pic with us on social media. We love seeing them! 

Always merrymaking,
