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.
