Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your stir-fry comes together quickly and easily.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: A well-seasoned wok or large skillet will help prevent your food from sticking and will also help to create a nice sear on the chicken.
- Use high heat: Stir-fries are cooked over high heat, so make sure your wok or skillet is nice and hot before you add the ingredients.
- Stir constantly: Stir-fries cook quickly, so it's important to stir constantly to prevent the food from burning.
- Add the sauce at the end: The sauce is the last ingredient to be added to the stir-fry. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning and will also allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
This gingery chicken stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The chicken is tender and juicy, the vegetables are crisp-tender, and the sauce is flavorful and slightly spicy. Serve this stir-fry over rice or noodles, or with a side of steamed vegetables.
