Tips:
- Choose the right cuts of chicken: For a stir-fry, it's best to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. These cuts are lean and cook quickly, making them ideal for a stir-fry.
- Slice the chicken thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a hot wok or large skillet: This will help to create a nice sear on the chicken and prevent it from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: If you do, the chicken will steam instead of fry.
- Add the vegetables in stages: This will help to prevent them from getting overcooked.
- Use a high-quality ginger: Fresh ginger is best, but you can also use dried ginger powder if you don't have any fresh on hand.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is done cooking when it is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked.
