Ginger & Garlic Soyaki Stir-Fry

Ginger & Garlic Soyaki Stir-Fry creates an unbeatable flavor sensation.

I created this delicious meal last week while jamming to some didgeridoo music and cooking away. A little of this a dash of this, a little dash of that, a quick honk on the didgeridoo and before I knew it dinner! I tasted the meal and literally jumped up and down, the flavor was just right! Divinely inspired some may say.
​
Just follow your heart in the kitchen and in life. That is the best advice I received when I was first starting out and I still follow it. When I'm cooking sometimes I'll feel compelled to add an ingredient I may otherwise think is completely bizarre but I follow my heart and just trust that it will either be okay or at the very worst I'll have to readjust the seasoning. 9 times out of 10 it turns out better than I'd ever hoped. This is one of those meals! My husband and I practically licked our bowls clean, I hope you will too!
