Notes

Prepare all your ingredients before cooking, as stir-frying happens quickly.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to help the chicken brown properly.
Feel free to swap in vegetables such as green beans, baby corn, snap peas, or courgettes.
For a spicy version, add chilli flakes or fresh chilli to the sauce.
