Preparation

Cooking

  2. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
  3. Add minced garlic and ginger to the pan, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Toss in the sliced zucchini and pour in the soy sauce.
  5. Stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes until the zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp.
  6. Once everything is well-combined and cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Notes

Marinate the chicken in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for 15-30 minutes for added flavor. Use fresh zucchinis for best taste. Timing is key; add zucchini towards the end of cooking.
