This stir-fry doesn't fall short on flavour. Together the black bean sauce sauce and soy sauce create a delightful balance of sweet and savoury flavours, which the juicy chicken and vibrant veggies happily soak up. The fluffy rice and crispy shallots complete the dish, giving you some major crunch action as well!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

  • Flavour: Many loved the tasty, restaurant-quality flavours, though some found it a bit sweet or salty. Adjust seasoning to taste.
