It’s an item which has many health benefits from being rich in antioxidants to containing a variety of nutrients. Honey is the perfect item to add to stir-fry and it will add a unique twist to your dish. Flavory Cooking says: “Marinating your protein and veggies before stir-frying can take your dish to the next level by infusing them with rich, complex flavors.

“Try marinating your proteins in a mix of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and a touch of honey for a perfectly balanced sweet and savory profile.

“For a veggie-centric option, marinate vegetables in a zesty blend of citrus juice, sesame oil, and chili paste to add a bright and spicy kick to your stir-fry.”

Over the years, the use of honey in cooking has become more popular and more diverse, says Honey Association.

It says honey is a classic ingredient which adds flavour and texture to a range of sweet and savoury dishes.

You can purchase honey for as little as £1.18 from Asda and you’ll be able to reuse the item in other ways in your kitchen.
