The BEST Whole30 + Keto Stir Fry Sauce
Whole30 + Keto Stir Fry Sauce Recipe – 3g net carbs! A low carb homemade stir fry sauce for chicken, beef, shrimp or vegetarian stir fry dinners! Dairy free, gluten free, grain free, sugar free, clean eating.
I love a good stir fry for dinner. It comes together in a snap, and is a great way to use up leftover vegetables in the fridge at the end of the week.
We all know the real star of the show in a stir fry is the stir fry sauce. A little tangy, a little sweet, hints of sesame and garlic and ginger, and a little bit of thickness to really coat the vegetables.
This is the BEST stir fry sauce you will ever have. Even better? It is Whole30 + Keto!

Is it just “sesame oil” or “toasted sesame oil” is it important which one? thank you!
Either works! I like toasted sesame seed oil so that’s what I use. But regular sesame seed oil works as well.
I added half a lime freshly squeezed, and 2 tablespoons of cilantro. I didn’t have rice vinegar but just added regular vinegar. It was delicious! This was the best tasting stir fry sauce we’ve had that’s homemade. It was for a Whole30 meal so no rice or noodles.
Yea! So glad you liked it, Samantha!
Absolutely delicious! Especially with natural heaven noodles.
Aww, thank you! Aren’t those noodles the BEST? Perfect combo with the stir fry sauce. Yum!

What can I use instead of date paste?
Hi Jessica – If you are wanting to keep the recipe Whole30 the only sweetener is date paste. If you want the recipe to be Paleo you could use coconut sugar, maple syrup, honey, monk fruit or maple sugar. If you don’t need it to be either Whole/30 or Paleo, just substitute the sweetener of your choice. You can also leave it out, but the taste is more balanced with a sweetener.
Do you substitute the same amount for the sweetener if not using two tablespoons of monk fruit? E.g two tablespoons of maple syrup or two tablespoons of sugar?
If you are substituting maple syrup or sugar for the monk fruit, yes I would use the same portions Emily. I sure hope you like it!
I found that, if using coconut aminos, additional sweetener is not required, because the coconut aminos are already sweet. This was a simple, easy and tasty recipe, which I will definitely be making again!
This would be great if it was Whole 30 friendly!!!! Can you please tell me what chicken broth out there has no sugar??? I have yet to find 1!!!
Yes, it is Whole30 friendly! I like using my homemade chicken stock. I make it in the instant pot and it is SO easy and way tastier than anything you can buy in stores. Or, if you want to buy it, Costco has a compliant chicken stock, and Bonafide.
Imagine brand is also compatible.
I’ve never tried that one!
So yummy! I made this to use with your green bean stir fry with chicken & sesame seeds and LOVED it. Even my roomies who aren’t doing Whole30 thought it was delicious. Will definitely be making again!
I’m so glad to hear you liked it! Thanks Melissa! I love that stir fry recipe. So simple and delicious and exactly what you’re craving when you want chinese food but need it to be healthy for Whole30. Love hearing your non whole30 roommates liked it too! Ultimate compliment! Thanks for sharing, this made my day!
Can you use Vegetable Stock instead of Chicken?
Absolutely! Hope you love it when you make it!
