Prep Time: 10 min

Cooking for one can sometimes seem like a daunting task. That’s why meals like stir fries are worth revisiting after your college years – you only use what you eat and you still have leftover ingredients for new dishes throughout the week. Try using a more unique sauce than the traditional Teriyaki style one. Our Peanut Miso sauce combines sweet and savoury ingredients with a hit of fresh ginger and it’s packed with protein. Make cooking for one fun again!

Ingredients

1 tsp (5 mL) canola oil
1 boneless, skinless chicken thigh, sliced
1/4 cup (60 mL) sweet pepper, sliced
