Probiotic Paradise Kimchi Stir-fry

This probiotic paradise is a kimchi stir-fry that's packed with flavor and gut-friendly bacteria. The kimchi and sauerkraut provide a sour and spicy kick, while the carrots, celery, onion, and bell peppers add sweetness and crunch. The avocado oil adds a healthy dose of monounsaturated fats, and the whole dish comes together in just 5 minutes.

I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover kimchi. I had never cooked with kimchi before, but I was intrigued by its sour and spicy flavor. I started by adding it to a stir-fry with some other vegetables, and I was amazed at how well the flavors worked together. The kimchi added a depth of flavor to the dish that I had never experienced before.
