Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic, ginger, and green onions are essential for creating a flavorful stir-fry. Make sure to use them in generous amounts.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch helps to tenderize it and gives it a delicious flavor.
  • Use a hot wok or large skillet: A hot wok or large skillet is essential for creating a good stir-fry. The high heat helps to sear the chicken and vegetables, giving them a slightly charred flavor.
  • Stir-fry in small batches: Stir-frying in small batches prevents the ingredients from becoming overcrowded and soggy. It also helps to ensure that the chicken and vegetables are cooked evenly.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the stir-fry helps to prevent it from burning. It also allows the flavors of the chicken and vegetables to shine through.
