Notes
- Mastering the Stir Fry:
- Stir frying is an Asian cooking technique that involves food cooked in some sort of fat, over high heat and for a short duration.
- This Ginger Chicken is a relatively easy stir fry since it doesn’t have additional veggies that will have differing cooking times from the main protein.
- The main tip for this stir fry is to heat oil in a pan or wok until it is very hot (a wok works best for stir fries!) – you can do the water test by sprinkling a drop of water and checking if it sizzles.
- Next, it’s important to make sure your chicken pieces are spread out, and let them caramelise for a few minutes before stir frying – do not move the pieces right away! Only do that once you’ve added in your aromatics, and make sure the heat is high. You’ll just be stir frying for 2-3 minutes here.
- Finally, turn off the heat and mix well. Serve HOT!
