Notes

Don’t skip marinating the chicken in cornstarch—it keeps the chicken tender while cooking!
Cook on high heat to get that nice char and keep your veggies crispy. Just remember to keep everything moving in the pan!
If you’re making a lot, consider cooking in batches. This helps prevent steaming and keeps your ingredients nice and crunchy.
