Tips from the Chef

  • For extra heat, add a fresh chopped chili or more chili flakes to taste.

  • You can substitute chicken breast with turkey breast or lean pork strips if preferred.

  • Ensure vegetables are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking.

  • Prepare all ingredients before heating the pan as stir-frying is a quick process.

  • Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned wok to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
