Tips for the Best Stir-Fry

To ensure your stir-fry comes out perfectly every time, make sure to prep all your ingredients before starting to cook. Stir-frying is a quick process, and having everything ready will help maintain the integrity and texture of the vegetables and chicken.

Another helpful tip is to use high heat when cooking. This allows the ingredients to sear quickly, locking in their flavors and creating that signature stir-fried taste. If you're cooking in batches, be careful not to overcrowd the skillet, as this can lead to steaming rather than frying.

Serving Suggestions

While this stir-fry is delicious on its own, you can elevate your meal by serving it with a side of steamed rice or a light salad. The contrasting textures and flavors will enhance your dining experience and provide additional nutrients.

To add an extra layer of flavor, consider drizzling some additional sesame oil or a sprinkle of chili flakes over the top before serving. These simple additions can transform your stir-fry from good to extraordinary, making it a memorable meal for family and friends.
