04 - Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
05 - Add the chicken, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and no pink remains.

09 - Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar or honey. Toss to coat and cook for 1–2 minutes until heated through.

# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in one pan so cleanup is practically nonexistent
  • You get all the crispy, savory satisfaction of an egg roll without the deep-frying mess
02 -
  • Prepping every single ingredient before you start cooking is non-negotiable because once the pan is hot, everything moves too fast for chopping
  • Pushing the vegetables to the empty side of the pan instead of crowding everything together keeps them crisp-tender instead of steaming into mush
03 -
  • Use a wok if you have one because the curved sides let you toss ingredients without spilling
  • Grate your ginger on a microplane so you never bite into a tough fibrous chunk
