Tips for Success

1. Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables and good-quality honey make a big difference in the flavor.
2. Don’t overcook the chicken: Cook the chicken until it’s just done, then remove it from the heat to prevent overcooking.
3. Stir-fry quickly: Stir-fry the vegetables quickly over high heat to preserve their crunch and color.
4. Adjust the amount of garlic: If you’re not a big fan of garlic, start with a smaller amount and adjust to taste.
5. Add aromatics: Consider adding aromatics like ginger or onions to the stir-fry for added depth of flavor.
