Recipe Notes

What can I serve with chicken stir-fry?

This easy stir-fry includes noodles, which makes it an all-in-one meal, but if you're serving a crowd, it's also great for making the main dish of a banquet, as it's so easy to prepare. Ideas to serve it with include spring rolls, dumplings, stir-fried greens and steamed rice.

I tend to find timings for stir-fries tricky. Are there any tips for making the process easier for a perfect result?

Because stir-fries don't need much cooking time, it's best to have all your ingredients prepared before you get started - you won't have any time for chopping while other things are cooking! Also, read through the method before you start and have any equipment you need ready on the bench, including a colander, bowls, utensils and plate lined with paper towel for draining - otherwise your stir-fry could overcook while you're hunting for equipment.
