Satay sauce is one of my favourite Oriental-inspired flavours, especially because I am obsessed with peanut butter! This spicy satay stir-fry is my clean eating, gluten free, low fodmap version. The coconut milk adds a lovely richness to the dish without needing unnecessary fat and sugar. I love adding lots of chilli to this dish for a spicy kick but it can definitely be toned down if spice is not for you. If you want to add more protein to the meal I recommend adding chicken breast or tofu before frying the vegetables. This dish also freezes well so can be made in batches and kept in the freezer for quick weekday meals.
