Frequently Asked Cooking Questions
- → How do I keep the chicken juicy?
Soak chicken strips in the soy and honey mix for at least 15 minutes to add flavor and lock in moisture. Quick cooking on medium-high heat seals the juices.
- → What’s the trick to crunchy broccoli?
Sauté broccoli florets on high heat until they turn bright green and get a little tender, around 3-4 minutes. Don’t cook too long or you lose the crunch.
- → Can I make this stir fry spicy?
Sure, add some red pepper flakes while cooking or sprinkle on top before serving for a nice mild heat that goes well with the sweet-salty sauce.
- → Which oils work best for stir frying?
Neutral oils like vegetable or canola are great for stir frying, and a splash of sesame oil in the marinade adds a nutty flavor and smell.
- → Any tips to make this healthier?
Serve with quinoa, brown rice, or a fresh green salad to add fiber and nutrients without making it too heavy.
