  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 pound (about 450 grams) boneless skinless chicken breast or thigh

1 head broccoli, chopped into bite-sized florets

2 tablespoons peanut oil or vegetable oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ginger, minced

1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cornstarch

3 tablespoons oyster sauce

2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry sherry

1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce or substitute

1/4 cup (60 ml) chicken stock

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1-First Step: Prepare all ingredients by cutting the chicken into thin, bite-sized pieces and washing broccoli florets. Mince garlic and ginger, and gather the sauces and seasonings.

2-Second Step: In a bowl, marinate the chicken with 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch for 10 minutes to add flavor and tenderness.

3-Third Step: Steam the broccoli for about 40 to 50 seconds until just tender, then set it aside. Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil or vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat.

4-Fourth Step: Add the marinated chicken to the hot pan in a single layer and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, which takes a few minutes.

5-Fifth Step: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger until fragrant, then return the steamed broccoli to the pan.

6-Sixth Step: Combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl, dissolve the cornstarch, and pour the mixture into the pan. Cook for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.

7-Final Step: Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal that feels just like takeout.
