This gut-balancing stir-fry is a quick and easy way to get your daily dose of vegetables and probiotics. The combination of ginger, turmeric, and shiitake mushrooms helps to support a healthy gut microbiome, while the coconut oil provides a healthy dose of fats.

This recipe was inspired by my recent trip to Thailand, where I learned about the importance of gut health. I was particularly interested in the role that fermented foods and probiotics play in maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. I started experimenting with different ways to incorporate more fermented foods into my diet, and this stir-fry is one of my favorite creations. It's a quick and easy way to get your daily dose of probiotics, and it's also a delicious and healthy meal.
