This recipe came out so good, both my partner and I enjoyed it when I made it. How can I make this to have more of the stir fry sauce? I’m kinda new in the kitchen. In advance, thank you
Can vegan butter be used to flavor vegetables?
“Solid fats” are off the list. However, using seasoned or herbed olive oil is a good alternative.
Be blessed on your fast.
May I know why soya sauce can be use? Is it ferment seasoning?
Hi Connie,
The Daniel Fast doesn’t prohibit fermentation. Sometimes people think the reason wine isn’t allowed is that it’s fermented. However, it’s the alcohol that makes wine not allowed on the fast. Soy sauce is fine. Just make sure that you study the list of ingredients to be sure it’s free of sweeteners or chemicals.

Why are mushrooms shown in the recipe photo, but not listed as a part of the ingredients!
Thank you, Tania! I appreciate your sharp eyes! I just updated the recipe.
Be blessed on your fast.
are you allowed to eat during the day or drink only water and eat the vegetables in the evening when you break the fast ?
Hi Florence,
You can eat at anytime day or night. No restrictions regarding time or how much, however, gluttony is never appropriate.
Be blessed on your fast.
ARE CUCUMBERS ALLOWED ON THE DANIEL FAST? I DID NOT SEE THEM ON THE LIST.
Yes, Monica.
All cucumbers are allowed.
Be blessed on your fast.
So, stir frying is acceptable but not other forms of frying?
