Have all your ingredients prepared and place in the order you are going to add them to the wok, as this recipe is all about quick cooking.
Keep ingredients moving when stir-frying. Cooking the meat and vegetables separately is best as it allows the meat to brown rather than stew.
Chinese light soy sauce is most commonly used in Chinese cooking. If a Chinese-style recipe calls for soy sauce without any more detail, assume it means light soy sauce.
This dish is perfect to whip up quickly after exercise, with a rich source of protein for muscle recovery.
