Tips for Making the Best Stir Fry
• Prepare the ingredients before starting the recipe. • Cut up the chicken or other protein used into bite-sized pieces. Do not overcook the protein as it can become tough. • Sauté the vegetables until tender crisp. Cooking them too long can result in a soft and mushy texture. • Soy sauce can be salty, so start with a little and add more to taste. • Make sure that the sauce comes to a boil to allow for thickening. • If you like spice with your stir fry, add a bit of red pepper flakes. • Prefer a sweeter sauce? Add a bit of honey, brown sugar, or pineapple juice.
Can this Chicken Stir Fry with Vegetables be Frozen?
• Yes, just place in an airtight container and free for up to three months. Note: the vegetables will not be as crisp, but this will still taste great. • When ready to eat, just remove from the freezer, thaw, and either microwave a few minutes or heat up in a non-stick skillet.
