Notes

Prep your ingredients beforehand. Marinating the chicken for at least 15 minutes will tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Don't overcrowd the pan when stir-frying; cook the chicken in batches if necessary. When stir-frying the vegetables, maintain high heat and stir constantly. Adjust the sauce ingredients to your preference; add a dash of chili flakes for heat or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness. Always taste and adjust seasonings before serving. Fresh ingredients are key.
