  • Next, coat the marinated chicken with cornstarch. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces in batches to avoid overcrowding.

  • Cook until golden brown on all sides before removing them from the skillet.
  • In the same pan, toss in your vegetables along with ginger and garlic for an aromatic base. Stir-fry until they soften slightly but still retain crunchiness.
