Test Kitchen tips

Twelve ounces uncooked boneless chicken can be used if you don't have cooked chicken handy. Cut it into cubes or strips and saute it before cooking the vegetables. Remove it while the vegetables are sauteed so it doesn't overcook.

Look for fresh ginger with smooth, even-colored skin that is not dried or wrinkled. Peel the skin with the tip of a spoon or paring knife before using.
