Stir-frying Sideways

I love to save time and not dirty up dishes. Which brings me to an experiment I did last night.

Garlic chicken, my favorite meal, was on the menu. Normally, the chicken is cooked, drained, and set aside then the vegetables are stir-fried and the chicken merged. I didn’t like the idea of draining the chicken and putting it aside so I came up with this:

Stir-fry the vegetables and set aside
Cook the chicken for a minute or so then merge in the vegetables and cashews. Sounds like a plan.

Well, the dish turned out pretty good but the vegetables were not crisp-tender; more like soggy-tender. All in all, it was still an acceptable dinner and a little time saver. Maybe you will have better results.
