Pro Tips

  • ✓High heat is essential for a proper stir fry — don't overcrowd the pan or you'll steam instead of fry.
  • ✓Slice chicken when it's slightly frozen for thinner, more uniform pieces.
  • ✓Prep all vegetables before you start cooking — stir fry moves fast.
  • ✓Swap chicken for shrimp or tofu for an equally delicious variation.
