## Equipment

- wok or large frying pan

## Tips

- Use sliced boneless chicken thighs if preferred. Dusting chicken with cornflour keeps it juicy.
- Add chilli flakes, chilli sauce, or fresh chillies for heat. Swap vegetables for mange tout, sugarsnap peas, etc. Swap protein for pork, steak, or vegetarian options.  Change flavour with Cajun spice, peanut butter, or sesame oil. Add other fruits like plums or mango.
- Recipe tastes best when served immediately, but can be made ahead and refrigerated, reheated in a wok with a splash of water if needed. Do not freeze this recipe as the vegetables may go soggy.
- To scale up or down the recipe, maintain the same ingredient ratios. Doubling will increase cooking time by about 5-7 minutes.
