FODMAP Notes

Marinating the beef with ginger and garlic-infused oil adds flavor without FODMAPs. Use gluten-free oyster sauce that's free of garlic and onion. Chinese broccoli and green beans are low FODMAP. Bean sprouts are low FODMAP.

Tips

  • 💡 Slice beef against the grain for tenderness
  • 💡 Partially freeze beef for easier thin slicing
  • 💡 Marinate overnight for maximum flavor
  • 💡 Keep wok very hot for proper stir-frying

Recipe Notes

This classic Asian stir-fry is perfect for busy weeknights. The ginger marinade tenderizes the beef while adding warmth, and the sesame oil gives everything an authentic Asian aroma.
