Another unique sounding recipe, this dish is a quick and easy stir fry with a saucy base made up from tomato passata, garlic, herbs and oh yes...a can of diet cola!


The perfect balance of both sweet and savoury, with the sweetness of the diet cola, the saltiness from the soy sauce and the tang of the Worcestershire sauce. This dish is so versatile and would work well with various meats and vegetables.


Serve with rice, noodles or even use as a topping for a jacket potato!


This dish also works really well with diet fanta. Feel free to experiment with other diet soda drinks and let me know your thoughts!
