Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your stir-fry taste its best. Look for crisp, brightly colored vegetables and tender, juicy chicken.
- Cut your vegetables and chicken into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you add too much food to the pan, it will steam instead of fry. This will make your stir-fry soggy and bland.
- Cook the chicken in batches: If you're using a lot of chicken, cook it in batches to prevent it from overcrowding the pan.
- Stir-fry the vegetables first: This will help them soften and release their flavors.
- Add the chicken back to the pan: Once the vegetables are cooked, add the chicken back to the pan and stir-fry until it's cooked through.
- Make the sauce: While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce. This can be a simple sauce made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar, or a more complex sauce made with a variety of ingredients.
- Add the sauce to the stir-fry: Once the chicken is cooked, add the sauce to the stir-fry and stir to coat.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately, while it's still hot and fresh.
