Notes
- Cut your vegetables into uniform sizes so they can cook faster at the same time.
- Prepare all your vegetables and ingredients in advance before you start cooking.
- The whole dish has to be cooked on high heat in a wok.
- If you don't have a wok you could use any pot and as you prefer.
- Chicken breast can be used instead of chicken thighs but you have to cook it really fast. Else the chicken breast will dry out.
