Ingredients
  

  • 1 16 oz package of grassfed and organic paneer I use Sach Foods Paneer
  • 3 tbsp Coconut Secret brand Coconut Aminos
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar free ketchup I use The New Primal, Tessemae's or Primal Kitchen
  • 1 tbsp gluten free sriracha I use Yellowbird or Nom Nom Paleo
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 4-5 chopped scallions
  • 1/4 diced red onion
  • 1 diced green pepper
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
  • 1 inch grated ginger
  • 4 grated garlic cloves
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Take 2 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar free ketchup, 1 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp arrowroot powder, 4 cloves garlic grated, 1 inch ginger grated, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper and stir vigorously until a thicker sauce forms. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. If sauce is too thin, add a bit more arrowroot powder. Also adjust salt to your liking. I start with less since the sriracha I use has salt in it already, and then add in a bit more as needed.
  • Chop vegetables, and cut paneer into 1 inch cubes.
  • Heat oil on a large pan / skillet on low-medium heat.
  • Place chopped paneer pieces on pan leaving space in between each piece (don’t overcrowd pan).
  • Let them sizzle and once golden brown and crispy on one side, flip over. May take a few minutes for paneer to get crispy.
  • Let the other side get golden brown and crispy too.
  • Once paneer is crispy on both sides, turn heat to medium high and add 1 tbsp coconut aminos and white pieces of chopped scallions to pan and sauté with paneer.
  • Then add diced red onions and green pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly cooked down (I like my veggies slightly crisp still for crunch).
  • Add in sauce and continue to sauté for 5 minutes. Sauce should further reduce and fully coat paneer and veggies.
  • Taste and adjust any final seasonings.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with green scallions (highly recommended) and cilantro (optional).
  • Serve hot with rice or cauliflower rice! Enjoy!
