how to cook stir fry chicken | cooking | recipes

Prepare your ingredients: Slice the chicken into thin strips, mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the vegetables.

Heat the oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking.

Cook the chicken: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the sliced chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until it's no longer pink and has a slight sear. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Cook the vegetables: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, and stir-fry the mixed vegetables for 3-4 minutes or until they're crisp-tender.

Combine everything: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using), and stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring everything is well coated.

Thicken the sauce: Pour in the cornstarch slurry, and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve: Serve your stir-fry chicken hot over cooked rice or noodles.

Enjoy your homemade stir-fry chicken!
