Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil.

🔧 stovetop

Make sure the skillet is hot before adding ingredients! This helps them cook quickly.

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring.

This step helps to sear the chicken, which locks in flavor.

Be careful when adding the chicken to the hot oil; it may splatter.

Stir the chicken until it is cooked through and no longer pink, about 2-3 more minutes.

Stirring is an important part of sautéing; it helps cook the food evenly.

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Cooking garlic and ginger quickly adds great flavor!

Add the sliced bell pepper, julienned carrot, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Practice your stirring technique to keep the veggies moving in the pan!

Watch out for steam when you add the vegetables!

Pour the soy sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Sauces add flavor and moisture to your stir-fry!
