You'll need a wok. Electrical or stovetop, it don't matter.
Cheating to make Chinese with Everyday Veggies

cornstarch
honey
pineapple juice
ginger
6-8 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
paprika

Cooked Rice. Lots of Rice.
Cut the chicken into long, thin strips. In other words, thinly julienne the chicken. Do the same with the red bell pepper, carrots(peel first) and cucumber. Thinly slice the onions into them little rings, and seperate thoroughly. If using cherry tomatoes, slice in half.
Heat the wok up to high flame or 475 degs. F. drizzle olive oil on sides beforehand to prevent stickage. season veggies(garlic included) with a good powdering of ginger, a few dashed of paprika, a good sprinkling of salt, run the pepper mill (constantly grinding) over them 'till all veggies have at least
some peper on them. cook until the onions are about half done. season chicken in same manner and add to cooking veggies, drizzle with honey. keep stirrin' and cookin' 'til the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned, then reduce heat to low flame or 175 degs.
