Follow the (4) basic steps below to make great stir fry every time: (1) Prepare the stir fry sauce first so that it's ready to add to the pan at the end; (2) Cook the chicken first, then remove it from the pan and set aside while you cook the vegetables; (3) Cook root and cruciferous vegetables like carrots and broccoli for about 3 minutes before adding softer veggies as they take longer to cook. Add the softer vegetables and cook another 5 minutes until crisp tender; (4) Add the chicken back to the pan along with the stir fry sauce and stir well. Cook until the sauce has thickened and warmed through.
