I love a good stir fry for a quick meal, especially when all the ingredients are prepped and ready to go. All you need is a hot wok and BOOM….dinner is done in minutes. This Sweet and Sour Stir Fry is loaded with veggies and fresh flavors. I like to serve it over starch-resistant rice or cauliflower rice to complete the meal.
I have to admit that I ventured out of (AHEM: cheated a lot) my Keto lifestyle over the holidays. This recipe is a result of my Keto hiatus. It is definitely not Keto or low-carb friendly due to the pineapple, so it is a good one to prepare for a scheduled cheat day. I still try to make it with other low-carb-friendly components to decrease my guilt factor. Haha! Cheat away, my friend…cheat away on this one! Your gonna love it!

Even so, if you want to throw caution to the wind, knock yourself out with full-fledged carbs.
