Some things are meant to be.
I’m talking Romeo and Juliet (minus the ya know, star-crossed lover death part), bacon and maple syrup, and Netflix and Saturday night kinda meant to be. No? Just me?
Well, anyways, here’s another combination to add to that list: sugar and soy sauce. Even better? Three different types of sweeteners: honey, orange juice, and brown sugar. Then you combine them with the salty goodness of the asian motherland. Are you drooling yet?
Well, if you aren’t yet, prepare to release the flood gates because your salivary glands will be letting loose digestive enzymes by the bucket full once you put that sweet and salty sauce on a mountain of crisp veggies and juicy chicken!
This stir fry is insanely delicious and is bursting with a sweet citrus flavor that’s emphasized by the saltiness of the soy sauce. Honestly, the glaze is lick-the-bowl good, and when it soaks into some rice, oh man, you better prepare yourself. Can you tell I’m a fan?
For me, it’s reminiscent of the orange chicken from Panda Express (yum), but minus all the saturated fat and calories that comes with takeout food.
Ready from start to finish in less than 20 minutes and with only 220 calories a serving, it makes the perfect healthy weeknight meal and is great for sneaking in veggies if you aren’t super keen to them or have a picky family to feed. Not to mention it’s extremely versatile and customizable! Round up a bunch of your favorite vegetables, toss them in a wok or pan, and you’re set to dig in! Yee-haw!
I’m linking up with What I Ate Wednesday to share this tasty dinner!
