Chicken Stir Fry
Description
Savoury and slightly sweet, with a touch of umami. The chicken is tender and well-seasoned, while the vegetables bring a natural sweetness and freshness. A light stir-fry sauce (like soy, garlic, and ginger) ties the flavours together with a subtle, balanced zing. Fragrant with garlic, sesame, and a hint of soy sauce. The cooked vegetables give off a sweet-earthy scent that fills the kitchen with warmth.
