A super easy AIP stir fry sauce made with ingredients you probably already have on hand. Done in less than 5 minutes. Soy-free, gluten-free, Paleo and Whole30 approved!
Are you in an AIP cooking rut? Last time I posted a recipe, I talked about how those of us on a restricted diet like the AutoImmune Protocol (AIP) can start to get bored with the available options we have for food. So, I decided to start coming up with some simple and easy “flavor boosters” we can add to just about any meal to take it up a notch. Food boredom CURED!
The first recipe I posted in this series was a 4-Ingredient AIP “Grated Parmesan.” This week, I’ve got a super simple AIP stir fry sauce that even your 5-year old could whip up in less than 5 minutes! It’s super simple and super delicious. Check it out:

What ingredients are in this AIP Stir Fry Sauce?
All the ingredients in this AIP Stir Fry Sauce recipe are completely AIP-friendly, paleo, gluten-free, soy-free and Whole30 approved! And if you have a well-stocked paleo/AIP fridge and cupboard, I bet you already have these ingredients on hand.
Coconut aminos
Coconut aminos are a great gluten-free and paleo alternative to soy sauce or tamari. Make sure to check your ingredients. You don’t want any with added sugars or thickeners.
Bone broth (or vegetable broth)
Bone broth adds a tiny boost of collagen to this recipe and helps thin the sauce out, so it’s not too salty or sweet.
Fish sauce
Red Boat brand is the only brand I’ve found without added sugars or gluten. Be sure to check your fish sauce for any added unsavory ingredients.
AIP compliant vinegar
Coconut vinegar, white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar work well here.
Ground spices
Use garlic powder, ground ginger and onion powder for extra flavor without the extra work of mincing fresh spices!
How to use this AIP Stir Fry Sauce
Friends, here is the brilliance of this recipe. It’s called a “stir fry” sauce, but you could literally use it almost anywhere. Tired of plain ol’ grilled meat? Marinate your meat in this sauce, then grill it, for a flavor boost. Is slow cooker shredded meat on your weekly meal prep list? Pour some of this sauce in there for a lil’ extra somethin’ somethin’. Roasted veggies? Toss ’em in this sauce. Make an Asian-inspired salad and use this sauce as a salad dressing. Make your own paleo/AIP version of fried rice and use this sauce to spice it up. Or use it as a dipping sauce for meat skewers. You could even make an Asian-inspired soup and use this sauce in it for an umami boost. The possibilities are endless! Make a batch of this sauce on Sunday and use it all week!
