Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs OR firm tofu, cubed

- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 tbsp fish sauce (or soy sauce)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar

Cooking tips

Why this pairing works
Caryophyllene — in your strain and on your plate
The only terpene that also activates the body's CB2 receptors, caryophyllene brings warm, peppery depth. It loves bold, savory, spicy food—peppercorn steak, aged cheeses, curries.
