Begin Stir-Frying.

Frying the Chicken

D.Schmidt
Place a large (deep-sided) frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. When the wok/pan is hot, add 1-2 Tbsp. oil plus minced garlic (4 cloves). Stir-fry until fragrant (30 seconds to 1 minute).

Add the chicken (together with the marinade). Stir-fry until the wok or pan becomes dry (30 seconds to 1 minute).

Now begin adding some of the chicken stock. Add only a few Tbsp. at a time, enough to keep the chicken frying nicely. Keep stir-frying and adding stock until all the chicken stock (1/2 cup) is used up and chicken pieces/strips are cooked (about 5-8 minutes).
