Thai Style Bean Sprout Stir Fry

Using basic ingredients for the Thai green papaya salad, this stir fry is quick and delicious. If you prefer vegetarian or vegan, you can sub the chicken with tofu or any other veggie like zucchini, peppers or even cabbage and the fish sauce for Tamari. I used pastured chicken from our farm and of course all organic ingredients.
