_______________________________________
RECIPE (2 servings)
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb/450g chicken breast
1 large/2 small heads broccoli
1 tbsp ginger finely chopped
1/2 tbsp garlic finely chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp cornstarch
-stir fry sauce-
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce (light/regular)
1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup water
-pickled broccoli stem-
1 cup water
4 tbsp vinegar (any kind)
1 tbsp salt
1 red chilli (optional)
METHOD:
1. Cut broccoli florets into bite sized pieces and soak it in a mixture of water with 1 tsp baking soda for 15-30 mins. This will clean the broccoli thoroughly. Once soaked, rinse it with clean water
2. Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and coat with 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tbsp cornstarch and set aside for 15-30 mins
3. While the chicken is marinating, let’s make pickled broccoli stem! Cut the hard base and peel the tough outer layer of the broccoli stems. Thinly slice and cut into matchsticks
4. Prepare a brine with water, vinegar, salt and chilli. Add the broccoli stems and let it marinate until the dish is cooked
5. Combine ingredients for the stir fry sauce in a bowl. This makes it very easy while cooking
6. To a pan/wok on high heat, add 3 tbsp oil and stir fry the chicken until its cooked though (about 5-6 mins). Check a big piece of the chicken to see if its done and set them aside
7. To the same pan add broccoli florets and stir fry on high heat until lightly charred. The light char adds a lovely smoky aroma
8. Add some oil if needed and stir fry ginger and garlic for 1 minute
9. Pour in the sauce and stir for 1 min for crunchy broccoli and 3 mins for soft/tender broccoli
10. Add the chicken and stir fry for 1 minute
11. For more sauce, add 1/2 cup water + 1 tsp cornstarch. Taste and adjust salt as needed
12. Serve it with rice and pickled broccoli stem
_______________________________________
SUBSTITUTES:
• No oyster sauce?
Sub 1.5 tbsp regular soy sauce + 0.5 tbsp sugar
Hoisin sauce also works well
• No dark soy sauce?
Skip it
• No vinegar?
Lime juice works too
• No fresh red chilli?
1 tsp red chilli flakes for too
_______________________________________
TIPS:
• Don’t overcook the chicken. It should not take too long to cook small pices of chicken breast
• Taste and adjust seasoning as needed
• There is no spice added to the stir fry as the pickled broccoli stem will be spicy. If you don’t want to make it, add a bit of chilli/pepper to the stir fry

I'm eating this right now after making. It is insanely good. Traditional chinese brown sauce with chicken thighs and broccoli. I added chopped scallions at the end and some sesame seeds. Yummy for the tummy! You gotta try. So simple and delicious! Cheers!

Thank you 😍❤️

[@OneRedFeatherStudios.]

Since broccoli tends to have its taste profile heightened with a smokey element, would you suggest finishing the pot, with some sesame oil?

[@breakthespice]

I felt the charring of broccoli added some smokiness, but a bit of toasted sesame oil is always a great idea! 😍

[@alexisoliver3321]
