  • Add chicken in a single layer and cook until lightly browned and just cooked through
  • Remove chicken from pan and set aside

Notes

High heat is key for authentic stir-fry texture
Prep all ingredients before cooking for best results
Do not overcrowd the pan or the chicken will steam
Sauce thickens quickly—stir constantly once added
Best served fresh with rice or noodles
