Notes

  • Slice the chicken thinly for the most tender texture.
  • Use a very hot wok or frying pan to keep vegetables crisp.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Add chilli flakes or chilli sauce for extra heat.
  • Cooked and cooled rice works best if serving as a rice stir fry.
