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 ensure that your stir-fry cooks evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the chicken and vegetables without overcrowding the pan.
  • Use high heat: Stir-fries are cooked quickly over high heat. This helps to sear the chicken and vegetables and keep them crisp.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken and vegetables will steam instead of sear. Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Stir constantly: This will help to prevent the chicken and vegetables from burning.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes a stir-fry special. Use a sauce that is flavorful and complements the other ingredients.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the chicken and vegetables are still hot and crispy.
