Stir Fry

The Ingredients

1 small package buckwheat noodles
6 campari tomatoes
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups vegetable stock
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
straw mushrooms
1/2 yellow onion
2 cloves fermented garlic
coconut aminos
white pepper
chili flakes
ground ginger
salt
cilantro 
1 cup ground peanuts
2 scallions
1/2 cup ground garlic chips

First, boil some salted water
Add buckwheat noodles and cook for 7 minutes, until they are softened. 
Alternative: boil in half chicken stock half vegetable stock for some added flavor! 
In a pan, add enough coconut oil to coat the bottom 
Then, add julienned red and yellow pepper with 1/2 chopped yellow onion 
Sauté for about 7 minutes, until the peppers appear soft and the onions are caramelized
Add 6 campari tomatoes
I quartered them so they can just mix into the peppers
Keep on medium heat
Add straw mushrooms into the sauté and cook for a few more minutes. 
Throw in the noodles. You want to make sure they are not too soft because they will cook more when added to the stir fry. 
While cooking, add 2 cloves of fermented garlic. I get mine from Trader Joe's and it is the Japanese kind- sort of tastes like soy sauce but without the soy! Then, add white pepper, chili flakes, salt, and ground ginger. 
I topped the mixture with several tablespoons of coconut aminos to taste. It is salty sweet and even better than soy sauce with a great finish! I topped it off with some fresh cilantro, ground peanuts, chopped scallions, and ground garlic chips to taste. Yum!
