Tips:

  • Mise en place: As with all stir-fries, it's important to have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start cooking.
  • Use a hot pan: A well-seasoned wok or large skillet is ideal for stir-frying. Make sure it's nice and hot before adding the oil and chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
  • Stir-fry in stages: Add the vegetables to the pan in stages, starting with those that take longer to cook, such as broccoli and carrots. Then add the softer vegetables, such as bell peppers and snow peas.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings a stir-fry together. This recipe uses a simple combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and rice vinegar, but you can adjust it to your own taste.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately, while they're still hot and fresh. You can garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
