<\/p>\n
\n<\/a><\/strong>This vegetarian-friendly stir-fry is the perfect meatless Monday meal<\/a>. Made with all the traditional Asian flavors, like soy sauce and ginger, you get the same mouthwatering and satisfying taste. Tofu provides lean protein, while carrot noodles offer a hefty dose of beta-carotene.

<\/p>\n
\n<\/a><\/strong>Use 100% buckwheat soba noodles and gluten-free soy sauce to keep this recipe completely celiac-friendly. The natural sweetness of honey pairs well with zesty lime and tangy ginger. Despite the soba noodles<\/a>, this meal is light and healthy and packed with flavor so you don\u2019t feel deprived.

<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>From pizza to mashed potatoes, cauliflower<\/a> has been used as a substitute for a variety of carb-heavy dishes. Here it’s used to swap out white rice. Add in broccoli, purple cabbage, red bell pepper and carrots, and you have a colorful, antioxidant-rich dish. (Did we mention the de-licious homemade peanut sauce?)

<\/p>\n
\n<\/a><\/strong>Paleo dieters will love this super-flavorful recipe. The stars: organic pork loin<\/a> and broccolini cooked in a sweet, spicy and savory sauce. Note that Thai red peppers are very spicy, so you can substitute them for red bell peppers, or do without ’em. Broccolini is also a bit sweeter than regular broccoli, which can help tone down the heat, too.

<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>\u201cJapchae\u201d is a Korean sweet potato noodle stir-fry made with carrots, spinach, egg, mushrooms<\/a> and bell peppers. When preparing the traditional dish, each vegetable is seasoned and stir-fried separately. But in this recipe, we cook most of the ingredients into one skillet. Want to add in a protein? Try bulgogi (Korean marinated meat) or opt for mushrooms, which have a meaty texture.

<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>This Indian-inspired dish features quinoa<\/a>, a vegetarian source of protein. It\u2019s cooked in a saucepan over medium heat and seasoned with a melting pot of flavors, including turmeric, red chili, flakes, ground ginger, coconut sugar, sriracha and salted peanuts. Serve this side with chicken breast, salmon or shrimp for a lean, hearty dinner.

<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>Despite what you think, miso gravy is actually easy to prepare. It just takes mixing a few nutrient-dense ingredients together, including coconut oil, lemon juice, fresh ginger, sesame oil, garlic and maple syrup. For the stir-fry, you’ll love the combo of buckwheat soba noodles<\/a> with Japanese eggplant and broccoli. Don’t forget the sprinkling of sesame seeds for an extra authentic feel.

<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>Bet you never thought to pair this trio together. The result: a quick and easy dish to add to your meatless recipe archive. Asparagus<\/a> and mushrooms offer an exceptional amount of antioxidants and nutrients. Meanwhile mushrooms are one of the few natural food sources of vitamin D.
