There's so much to love about this delicious stir fry chicken and tofu recipe, especially as it's ready in just 15 minutes.
This mouthwatering meal is packed with fresh veg and bags of flavour! It's made using Passage To Asia Satay Chicken Stir-Fry Sauce, which means as well as lots of tasty Thai basil, chilli, ginger, lime and garlic, this dish also benefits from a delicious, slightly sweet, peanut-based sauce.
I love making curries and stir-fries from scratch and always recommend experimenting with cooking whenever you can. But when time is short and taste buds are in need of something special, a good store-bought sauce can help instantly kick fresh ingredients up a notch or two.
And that's just what Passage Foods' range of sauces aim to do; making cooking up speedy curries and stir-fries a breeze.
