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.
