🔥 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep sauce
Whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, and broth. Set aside.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Cook chicken 3–4 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Remove and set aside.
3️⃣ Stir-fry vegetables
Add remaining oil.
Cook garlic and ginger 30 seconds.
Add vegetables and stir-fry 3–5 minutes (tender-crisp is best).

🌿 Tips for Best Stir-Fry
- Slice chicken thinly against the grain for tenderness.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan — cook in batches if needed.
- Keep veggies slightly crisp for best texture.
- Add a splash of sesame oil at the end for extra flavor.
If you’d like, I can give you:
- A spicy Szechuan-style version
- A low-carb version (no cornstarch)
- Or a garlic butter version
