This recipe is a vibrant fusion of flavors and textures. The star of the dish is the humble carrot, transformed into a sweet and savory noodle. Alongside it, tender strips of chicken and a spice-laden sauce bring an Asian-flair, while a sprinkle of cheddar cheese honours a unique blend of Western kitchens.

Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add thinly sliced chicken breast and cook until done, which should be around 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

In the same pan, mince 2 cloves of garlic, add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, a teaspoon of brown sugar, and half a teaspoon of ground ginger. Stir to combine.
