Notes
Storage:
- To Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days after preparing.
- To Reheat: To reheat your stir fry, microwave in 1 minute intervals until heated thoroughly or reheat on the stove top over medium heat in a sauce pan.
- I recommend cooking the chicken first and only add the vegetables once the chicken is done. This ensure the chicken gets that crispy texture and is cooked thoroughly.
- Add fresh ground ginger to the stir fry ingredients for added flavor.
- When making the sauce, be sure to add the cornstarch and water together first or else your sauce will be lumpy.
- The flavor of this dish is definitely inside the sauce. Feel free to double the sauce ingredients to make this dish extra saucy!
