Ingredients

4 servings

For the chicken

1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced against the grain
3 tbsp coconut aminos, divided
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Ingredient notes
Fresh ginger is generally considered bladder-friendly, and the small amount in this recipe (~1/4 tsp per serving) is likely fine for many people with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Interstitial cystitis treats warming spices like ginger as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp turmeric
Ingredient note
Turmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ tsp salt

For the sauce

3 tbsp coconut aminos
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp arrowroot starch
½ tsp turmeric
Ingredient note
Turmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient note
Ground ginger is generally considered bladder-friendly, and the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely fine for many people with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For the stir-fry

2 tbsp coconut oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated

12 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced ¼-inch thick
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
3 scallions, white and green parts separated, thinly sliced
Ingredient note
Interstitial cystitis flags onions and the allium family as common bladder irritants, especially raw, but scallions are milder and are used cooked or in small amounts here, so they are likely tolerated by many with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ tsp salt

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken thighs with 3 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1/2 tsp turmeric, and 1/4 tsp salt. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
2
While the chicken marinates, whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl: 3 tbsp coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, arrowroot starch, 1/2 tsp turmeric, and ground ginger until the starch is fully dissolved with no lumps. Set aside.
