Use whatever meat/veggies you normally use*, just sub the soy sauce - stir fry sauces with something low fat/sodium

Here are some good alternatives (that I use)
Red wine vinegar with beef, rice vinegar with vegetable only dishes and balsamic vinegar with chicken.

Also make sure the stock you use as a base is no fat and/or low sodium. (Veggie, beef, chicken, etc.)

When you remove all/most of the sodium the flavor will be lacking so use fresh or dried peppers to add heat this will make you think you're getting salt.

Ginger and garlic are very popular in these dishes don't forget to add them. Fresh herbs, ground white pepper, five-spice powder and citrus juice are other great options.

(I don't measure anything while cooking - I know I'm bad - I measure dishes after they are prepared)
Here is an idea of what I do

Chicken - pan cook with seasoning of choice (I love garlic, lime juice, and pepper), maybe a cup (prob less) of sodium free/fat free stock, and a heavy splash of balsamic vinegar - You don't want it water-y at the end so start small
when the chicken is done I add a bag of frozen stir fry veggies
another splash of the vinegar just before removing from heat

Hope that helps...

WaLa - not fancy

*what you normal get when you order
(peppers, onion, snap peas, broccoli, water chestnuts, etc.)

Super delicious:


Broccoli tops
Celery
Red Onion
Green Onion
Pea pods
Carrots cut matchstick style
Kikomon Teriyaki Sauce
Habenero Pepper Sauce
Teaspoon of sugar or juice of 1/2 orange

Optional:
Cooked frozen fajita chicken strips
Or
Sandwich steak, seasoned & cooked
Or
Leftover steak or chicken

The fresher the ingredients the better. I've tried it with frozen veggies and its sooooooooooooo much better tasting with fresh veggies, so much so I even wait to cut the veggies until right before I put it in the pan. Meat is different for some reason - a day in the fridge seems to help add to the flavor, so feel free to put your leftover pot roast in there.

1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in skillet, medium high heat.
2. Put in veggies until cooked, but crunchy
3. Add meat, if using any. The veggie only version is delicious too.
4. Sprinkle a small amount (tablespoon) of Teriyaki sauce (its high in sodium, so don't go wild - the carmelized onions, sugar and pepper sauce gives enough flavor)
5. Sprinkle sugar or juice over it
6. Sprinkle a tiny amount of pepper sauce on it to taste. Habenero peppers are very flavorful, and very hot, so just a tiny bit will do - like 1/2 teaspoon or less.
7. Add 1/2 cup water if needed, and simmer 1 minute.

Pour in a bowl and eat, or serve over rice or noodles.

Yummmmmmy!

Stir fries are my "lazy" meals, so I just throw in some thawed frozen veggie mix, tofu, and some spices. I usually do California Blend mixes, and sometimes add in a fresh onion or any other left over veggie I have laying around for some added freshness. Not always, though.

I make my own stir fry sauce using water (about 1 cup), soy sauce (use low sodium, if you need to), a bit of corn starch and a teaspoon of veggie stock bullion (also has low sodium varieties available). For flavor, I put in minced garlic, powdered ginger, onion powder and black pepper. Mix all that in a separate bowl, then pour it over the veggies and protein once they're almost done cooking. I often don't eat it with any grains, since I use a lot of veggies. Very simple, but easy and filling!
