Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and stir-fry until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.

- Tip 4: Substitute the chicken with tofu for a vegetarian-friendly version that still packs a punch of flavor.
- Tip 5: If you like heat, consider adding some crushed red pepper or chili garlic sauce to give it an extra kick.
