"Never crowd the wok, or your food will steam instead of sear; if you are cooking for a crowd, batch-cook your chicken in two separate waves to protect the sacred caramelization!"

Chef's Notes
Pay absolute attention to the heat of your wok during the searing phase. High heat is the secret to locking in the juices of the chicken thigh while maintaining the crisp-tender crunch of the green capsicum.
Pro Tip
Always prep all your ingredients before turning on the stove, a technique the French call mise en place. Chinese stir-fries happen at lightning speed, and you will not have time to chop onions while your garlic is turning to charcoal!
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dare to add the cashews during the high-heat simmer instead of folding them in at the very end, you will transform a crown jewel of crunchy texture into soggy, weeping nut-mush that even the royal hounds would reject with profound sadness.

Why did the chicken cross the road? To escape being tossed in a wok with my secret sauce, but alas, it failed.
The Culinary Science
Marinating meat in a mixture of starch and soy sauce creates a protective coating known as velvety. The cornstarch traps moisture inside the chicken cells, preventing the high heat of the wok from drying out the meat.

Meat Moisture Retention Protocol
Storage Science
Store in an airtight container in the coldest part of the refrigerator along with any cooking juices or sauces to maintain moisture. Consume within 3-4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat gently in the oven at 300°F (150°C) or on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water and cover tightly to steam. This prevents the proteins from constricting and squeezing out their juices.
