SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS | IMMUNE-BOOSTING SUPERFOOD

Shiitake mushrooms are rich in beta-glucans, which support immune health. They’re also a great source of B vitamins, selenium, and antioxidants, helping to fight inflammation and improve heart health.

GINGER | ANTI-INFLAMMATORY POWERHOUSE

Ginger is renowned for its anti-inflammatory and digestive properties. It can help reduce nausea, support gut health, and improve circulation, making it a perfect addition to stir-fry dishes.

TAMARI | GLUTEN-FREE SOY SAUCE ALTERNATIVE

Tamari is a gluten-free soy sauce alternative that adds a rich umami flavor to dishes. It’s lower in sodium than regular soy sauce and contains beneficial amino acids for a healthy protein boost.

SNOW PEAS | CRISP AND NUTRITIOUS

Snow peas are low in calories but high in vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants. Their crisp texture adds balance to the dish while providing essential nutrients for overall health.

SESAME SEEDS | HEALTHY FATS AND MINERALS

Sesame seeds are a source of healthy fats, protein, and minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium. They add a nutty flavor and enhance the nutritional value of any dish.

WELLKHANA KITCHEN RECIPE

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

  • 1 small onion, sliced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

  • 2 cups shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, sliced

  • 1 cup snow peas, trimmed

  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 3 tablespoons tamari

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (plus extra for garnish)

  • Cooked brown rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the sauce | In a small bowl, whisk together tamari, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and the cornstarch mixture (if using). Set aside.

  2. Sauté aromatics | Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Cook the vegetables | Add shiitake mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown. Stir in the snow peas and red bell pepper, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.

  4. Add the sauce | Pour the tamari sauce over the vegetables, stirring well to coat. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes, thickening slightly if cornstarch is used.
