Notes

Make sure not to overcook the vegetables; they should be tender yet crisp to provide texture. You can use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken to save time. Adjust the amount of soy sauce based on your taste preference; feel free to mix in other sauces, like oyster sauce, for more depth. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
