A simple and easy stir fry prepared and cooked in minutes with no marinading needed! Crunchy green vegetables and tender crispy chicken stir fried in a beautifully flavoured teriyaki sauce. A hint of garlic adds a twist on a traditional Japanese inspired dish. Better than any teriyaki sauce found in a bottle.
