Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your stir-fry cooks evenly.
  • Use a hot pan: A hot pan is essential for getting a good sear on your chicken and vegetables. If your pan is not hot enough, the food will steam instead of fry.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the food will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Stir-fry in small batches: Stir-frying in small batches will help to prevent the food from becoming overcooked and mushy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good choices include snap peas, snow peas, asparagus, and bok choy.
  • Make sure your sauce is flavorful: The sauce is what really brings this dish together, so make sure it is flavorful. Use a good quality soy sauce and fish sauce, and add some Sriracha or chili peppers if you like it spicy.

Conclusion:

This spicy Vietnamese stir-fry with chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the vegetables are crisp and colorful, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve it over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
