Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Stir-Fried Chicken or Pork with Colorful Vegetables.
Step 1
Start by heating a generous splash of vegetable oil in your trusty wok over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the cubed chicken along with the chopped garlic and a splash of oyster sauce.
Step 3
Stir-fry this delightful mix for about 5 to 8 minutes, allowing the chicken to turn a beautiful golden brown and ensuring it’s cooked all the way through.
Step 4
Next, it’s time to bring in the vibrant veggies! Add in the chopped broccoli, sliced green bell pepper, sliced carrots, napa cabbage, sliced celery, fresh bean sprouts, sliced zucchini, and chopped green onions.
Step 5
Sprinkle in a pinch of salt to enhance those flavors.
Step 6
Keep stir-frying for another 4 to 8 minutes, watching as the vegetables become crisp-tender and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Step 7
For peace of mind, you can check that the chicken has reached a safe internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
While your stir-fry is coming together beautifully, grab a small bowl and whisk together some water, mushroom soy sauce, and cornstarch.
Step 9
This mixture will be your secret weapon for a luscious sauce.
Step 10
Pour it into the wok and stir constantly as it cooks, watching the magic happen as the sauce thickens in just 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 11
And there you have it—a colorful, flavorful stir-fry that’s sure to impress! Enjoy every bite of this delicious dish that’s not only quick to make but also packed with nutrients and taste.
