Tips:
- Make sure to cut all your ingredients into evenly sized pieces for uniform cooking.
- Pre-measure and prepare all your ingredients beforehand (mise en place) since stir-frying is a quick cooking process.
- Heat the peanut oil until shimmering before adding the chicken to get a nice sear and avoid sticking.
- Stir-fry the vegetables just until they are tender but still crisp, to retain their nutrients and texture.
- Toss the cooked chicken back in at the last minute to ensure it stays juicy and doesn't overcook.
- Feel free to adjust the soy sauce, lemon zest, and honey to suit your personal taste.
