Chinese Meyer Lemon Chicken
Chinese Meyer Lemon Chicken
Our Sublemonal Message is potent and tart – we let the natural flavor of meyer lemons shine – and with the added ginger it makes a delightful glaze for meats or base for sauces. This chicken stir-fry uses those flavors for a quick and memorable entrée.With half a cup of Sublemonal Message you’ll have a delicious dinner for four in no time. The Meyer lemon rind in our marmalade gives this stir-fry a burst of citrus flavor and saves you the time of zesting yourself, and the rice wine vinegar and soy sauce up the savory factor resulting in a balanced, healthy dish.Recipe comes courtesy of Jamnation Jam creator Gillan Reynolds.
