Frequently Asked Questions
Why didn’t my sauce thicken and become “sticky” and glossy?
If your sauce didn’t thicken, it might be due to insufficient cooking time. Make sure to simmer the sauce until it reaches the desired consistency. Also, ensure you used the correct amount of cornstarch.
How long do leftovers last in the fridge and how should I reheat them?
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a pan with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
Can I add extra vegetables, and at what point in the cooking process should I incorporate them?
Yes, you can add extra vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli. Add them to the pan after cooking the chicken and before adding the sauce.
Is it possible to make this dish spicier or milder?
Absolutely! To make it spicier, add more chili flakes or fresh chili. For a milder version, reduce or omit the chili flakes.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply add a splash of water to the pan and heat over medium until warmed through. This helps to loosen the sauce and keep it deliciously sticky.
