4 servings
For the stir-fry
- 1 ½ lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and minced
Ingredient noteInterstitial 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.
- 8 oz snow peas, strings removed
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced on the diagonal
- 4 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
Ingredient noteInterstitial 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.
- ½ tsp salt
For the sauce
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp arrowroot starch
- ½ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis treats warming spices like ginger as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
Ingredient noteTurmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
