Instructions

  1. Marinating Chicken cubes:

    This is a very important step to ensure you enjoy the best flavor of your chicken. In a bowl marinate the washed chicken cubes in olive oil, black pepper, salt,ginger-garlic cilantro paste, and set aside.

    In a medium pot, on a high flame add in the canola oil. Once the oil is piping hot, add in your chopped garlic and stir for a sec.

  2. Add in your marinated chicken and let it cook on high flame just the like Chinese restaurant do. It will splatter some oil so be careful and have a good distance from it.
  3. After about 4 mins and all the pink is gone take it out and set aside to cool.
  4. Add in a tablespoon of oil add in your mixed veggies. Cover the pot and let it cook in its juices for about 3-4 mins and then stir.
  5. Once the veggies look halfway done, add in the cooked chicken cubes and the stir fry with the sauce made at home. Mix well and let it cook for about 5 more minutes.
  6. Serve hot with some white Jasmine rice or Fried rice.
