Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the stir-frying process.
  • Use a wok or large skillet: A wok is the traditional choice for stir-frying, but a large skillet will also work. Make sure it's big enough to accommodate all of your ingredients comfortably.
  • Heat your wok or skillet over high heat: Stir-frying is a quick-cooking method, so you need to make sure your wok or skillet is hot enough before you add your ingredients.
  • Add oil and swirl to coat the wok or skillet: This will help prevent your ingredients from sticking.
  • Stir-fry your ingredients in batches: Don't overcrowd your wok or skillet, or your ingredients will steam instead of fry.
  • Keep your stir-fry moving: Use a spatula to constantly stir and toss your ingredients so they cook evenly.
  • Season your stir-fry to taste: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, or other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve your stir-fry immediately: Stir-fry is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Chicken stir-fry with mixed peppers is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables, and it's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. With a little practice, you'll be able to make a stir-fry that's just as good as your favorite takeout.
