Jamaican Stir Fry
Looking for a super easy stir fry recipe with a twist? This is a very flavorful version of Jamaican Jerk chicken and everything can be prepared in advance and stir fried just before serving. You can keep this dish fairly tame or kick up the heat and spiciness a notch. Spicy jerk seasoning is a critical part of Jamaican cooking. While there is no definitive recipe, you'll typically find allspice, onion, garlic, thyme and Scotch Bonnet chiles as the flavor base when made from scratch.
Our Jamaican Jerk Seasoning is salt free and hand blended from onion, coriander, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, black pepper, allspice, cinnamon, thyme, nutmeg, scotch bonnet, clove and chives, so a good option for those on a low sodium diet. High in protein and low in fat, this is a healthy choice to add to any meal plan.
