Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir-fry, Any ideas on how to make this better?

Enhance the Flavor:

Use fresh ginger and garlic: Instead of ground ginger and garlic powder, use fresh ingredients for more intense flavor. Mince or grate them finely.
Add depth with soy sauce and sesame oil: Replace half of the water with soy sauce for a richer umami taste. Stir in a teaspoon of sesame oil at the end for aroma.
Incorporate hoisin sauce: A small amount of hoisin sauce lends a sweet and savory complexity to the dish. Add 1-2 tablespoons to the sauce.
Add a splash of rice vinegar: Balance the sweetness of the sauce with a hint of acidity by adding 1-2 tablespoons of rice vinegar.
Season with black pepper: Give the dish a bit of a kick by adding a pinch of black pepper to the sauce.

Improve Texture:

Use cornstarch and water mixture: Create a thicker sauce that will coat the chicken and vegetables better by whisking together cornstarch and water before adding it to the sauce.
Don’t overcook the vegetables: Stir-fry the vegetables for just a few minutes, until they are crisp-tender but still retain their vibrant colors.
Use a variety of vegetables: Add different vegetables to the stir-fry for more texture and nutrients, such as bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli.

Presentation Tips:

Garnish with sesame seeds: Sprinkle roasted sesame seeds over the stir-fry for a crunchy and nutty garnish.
Serve on a bed of rice or noodles: Pair the stir-fry with rice or noodles to soak up all the delicious sauce.
Garnish with sliced green onions: Add some freshness and color to the dish by garnishing it with sliced green onions.
