Tips for Chinese Chicken and Spinach Stir Fry

  • Keep the chicken pieces similar in thickness so they finish cooking at roughly the same time.
  • Avoid crowding the pan; a crowded wok can steam the chicken and mushrooms instead of browning them.
  • The spinach is ready when its leaves are limp but still bright green; cooking it too long can make it watery.

Drink pairing

A dry, crisp Riesling
Its bright acidity complements the savory soy sauce without overpowering the chicken and greens.

0% option: Chilled jasmine tea

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the chicken is cooked?

Cut into the thickest piece: it should be opaque throughout, with no pink center.

Can I make this ahead?

For the best texture, cook it just before serving. You can slice the chicken and mushrooms ahead and keep them covered in the refrigerator.

What should I serve with it?

Serve over steamed rice or noodles to make the savory pan juices part of the meal.
