Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish, so make sure to use the best you can find.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure to not overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent it from cooking evenly and becoming crispy.
  • Cook the chicken in batches: If you are cooking a large amount of chicken, cook it in batches to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the chicken from sticking and will also impart a nice flavor to the dish.
  • Use a high heat: When cooking the chicken, use a high heat to ensure that it cooks quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry, so make sure to cook it just until it is cooked through.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick and flavorful: The sauce is an important part of this dish, so make sure to simmer it for long enough to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after cooking, as the chicken will become tough if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:
