SPICY THAI CHICKEN STIR FRY
The Thai stir fry sauce used in this recipe is a fantastic versatile stir fry sauce! It's similar to many well known Thai stir fries like Pad See Ew, Thai Chilli Basil Chicken and Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao). Make this using ground/mince chicken, pork or turkey. See notes for how to use this sauce for other stir fries. Ensure all ingredients are ready to toss into the wok before you start cooking because once you start, it cooks fast!

Tips:
- Use a wok: A wok is the traditional cooking vessel for Thai stir-fries. Its rounded shape and sloping sides allow for even heat distribution and easy tossing of ingredients.
- Heat your wok properly: Before adding any ingredients, heat your wok over high heat until it is very hot. This will help to prevent food from sticking.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs are essential for making a great Thai stir-fry. Look for ingredients that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
- Cut your ingredients into uniform pieces: This will help them to cook evenly.
- Stir-fry in small batches: Don't overcrowd the wok, or the food will not cook evenly. Stir-fry in small batches, adding more ingredients as needed.
- Use a light touch: When stir-frying, use a light touch and toss the ingredients gently. This will help to prevent them from breaking up.
- Don't overcook the food: Stir-fries are meant to be cooked quickly. Overcooking will make the vegetables mushy and the meat tough.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately, while they are still hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Thai stir-fries are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a healthy meal. By following these tips, you can make a great Thai stir-fry at home. Experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create your own unique dishes.
