Creating this Spicy Chicken Stir-Fry is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken strips with cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside for 10 minutes.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken in a single layer. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
