Notes
Tip
The key to happy stirfrying is to be completely prepared before you begin. Make sure that you have everything chopped up, and all condiments and cooking utensils at hand. This way, you will avoid the possibility of overcoooking everything.
Tip
This chicken is fabulous when it has spent a long time marinating – having said that, the last time I made this dish, I forgot to marinate the meat. Instead of spending hours steeping in the sauces, my chicken spent a mere 30 minutes marinating. And it was still delicious!
