Notes
- A large skillet or wok is best for stir frying as ideal as you're able to stir and toss the veggies without any falling out of the pan.
- If you want to add an extra crunch to this dish? Try adding in some cashews, peanuts, or almonds.
- Be sure to cut your vegetables into similar sizes so they can cook at the same rate.
- If you're unsure where to get water chestnuts, they can be found in cans in the international aisle or by other canned vegetables.
- Swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth and honey for maple syrup to keep this a vegetarian or vegan friendly recipe.
- You can make this spicier by adding some red chili flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
- If you're making this as a side dish, Hawaiian Chicken Skewers goes really well with the veggies! Alternatively, as a main dish, you can serve this with some rice, chow mein, lo mein, udon noodles, ramen noodles, quinoa, zoodles, and cauliflower rice.
