Add a photoMake this amazing stir-fry to kick off the Chinese New Year. You won’t find this fabulous dish at your local Chinese takeout! The homemade sauce is bursting with flavor and so easy to make. I’m stir-frying with just 1 teaspoon oil and using healthy ingredients such as a lean steak, red pepper, edamame, pineapple and serving over brown rice. The skinny for each serving is 358 calories, 6 grams of fat and 9 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. This dish is so hearty, you really don’t need anything else to complete the meal.

Choose lean beef such as tenderloin or top sirloin. Trader Joe’s sells packages of very lean top sirloin. They also sell packages of very lean grass fed steak. Be sure to cut the steak into bite-size pieces.
Brown Basmati rice is really tasty. It’s tastes much nuttier than most brown rice. Most supermarkets sell it either in the rice aisle or health food aisle. I found it at Trader Joe’s.
Hoisin sauce is sold in most supermarkets in the Asian or international section.
Ginger, in a jar, is a wonderful product and can be found in the produce section where garlic, in a jar, is displayed.
