Can I use frozen vegetables instead of fresh?

Absolutely, Frozen veggies work great - just toss them in straight from the freezer (no need to thaw). They might release a bit more water, so you might want to cook them an extra minute or two. My freezer-bag mix of peppers, broccoli and carrots has saved dinner more times than I can count.

How can I make this stir fry spicier?

Oh, I love this question. A pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic and ginger adds nice heat. For serious spice lovers, stir in a teaspoon of sriracha or chili garlic sauce when you add the soy sauce mixture. My husband always adds extra at the table too.

What's the best way to slice chicken for stir fry?

Cutting against the grain is the golden rule. Look for the lines in the chicken breast and slice perpendicular to them. I aim for pieces about 1/4-inch thick - they cook fast and stay juicy. Pro tip: slightly frozen chicken is actually easier to slice thinly.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You sure can, Prep all your veggies and sauce the night before, then cooking takes just minutes. Leftovers keep beautifully for 3 days in the fridge (if they last that long). The flavors actually get better as they mingle.
