While I always try to eat the daily recommended servings of vegetables, I seem to easily forget all about fruits. One good way to rectify this is to incorporate fruits into the food I cook. I haven’t really come across many dishes during outside dining that make good use of fruits except in sides like salads or as garnishes which is a shame because certain fruits can add that extra flavour, natural sweetness and texture when paired with meat or seafood.

I was gifted with boxes of kiwi fruits when I was hospitalised for surgery and they were sitting in my fridge for quite some time because the husband and I just couldn’t finish all at once so I decided I would make something different with the kiwis – a Chinese-style chicken stir fry 😉 It had a great combination of tangy, sweet, spicy and savoury flavours. Pretty moreish 🙂 Give it a try!
