How to be creative
  • Substitute chicken with tofu for a plant-based option.
  • Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or cashews for added crunch.
  • Incorporate different vegetables like snap peas or zucchini for variety.
Important Tips
  • Ensure your skillet or wok is hot enough before adding the chicken to get that delicious sear.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure the ingredients fry nicely and don't steam.
  • Feel free to experiment with other sauces such as teriyaki for a different flavor profile.
