Directions

Measure and prepare all ingredients before cooking.

Mix all chicken/marinade ingredients in a bowl, stir well, and allow to marinate for ½ hour.

Mix sauce ingredients in another bowl and set aside until needed. Stir out any lumps.

Heat wok or large frying pan until water drops bead up and dance on the hot surface.

Add cooking oil to wok. Wait a few seconds for oil to heat up.

Add remaining spice ingredients to wok and stir fry for 30 seconds.

Add chicken mixture to wok and stir fry for about 4 minutes (until chicken is cooked through).

Add vegetables to wok and stir fry for about 2–3 minutes.

Stir sauce and add to wok. After the sauce comes to a boil, cook for about 1 minute (until sauce thickens).

Stir to coat other ingredients with thickened sauce.
