Questions about Chicken stir fry
How do you stop chicken stir fry from turning watery?
Pat the chicken and vegetables dry, cut them into similar-sized pieces and cook in small batches in a very hot wok or frying pan. Crowding the pan makes the ingredients steam instead of fry.
How long should you cook chicken for stir fry?
Slice it thinly across the grain and stir-fry for about 5–7 minutes, until every piece is opaque and the centre reaches 75 °C. If you add vegetables, cook the chicken first, then return it to the pan at the end.
Can you use frozen vegetables in chicken stir fry?
Yes. Add them straight from frozen to a hot pan and cook until piping hot; let excess water evaporate before adding sauce, or the stir fry can become soggy.
What goes well with chicken stir fry?
Serve it with boiled rice or noodles, adding them at the end if you want them coated in the sauce. Garlic, ginger, spring onions and soy sauce are classic flavourings; a squeeze of lime works well too.
How should you store leftover chicken stir fry?
Cool it promptly, transfer it to a covered container and refrigerate within two hours. Eat it within two days, and reheat only once until piping hot throughout.
Can you prepare chicken stir fry ahead of time?
You can slice the vegetables and mix the sauce ahead, keeping them covered in the fridge. Keep raw chicken separate, then cut and cook it just before serving to avoid cross-contamination.
