Steps:
- Put a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add half the oil, swirl it around, and immediately add half the garlic and ginger. Cook for 15 seconds, stirring, then add the broccoli, mushrooms and all but a sprinkling of the scallions. Raise heat to high, and cook, stirring, until mushrooms release their water and broccoli is bright green and beginning to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with salt; add 1 cup water. Stir and cook until almost all liquid evaporates and broccoli is almost tender, another minute or two more, then transfer everything to a plate.
- Turn heat to medium, add remaining oil, then remaining garlic and ginger. Stir, then add chicken and turn heat to high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken has lost its pink color, three to five minutes.
- Turn heat to medium. Return broccoli, mushrooms and juices to the pan, and stir. Add soy sauce, sprinkle with more salt and some pepper; add a little more water if mixture is dry. Raise heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced slightly and you've scraped up all the bits of chicken. Taste and adjust seasoning, garnish with remaining scallion and serve.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with the scallion whites, sugar, sesame oil, sherry, soy sauce, about half the garlic, half the ginger, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch and 1 teaspoon salt. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1/3 cup water in a small bowl and reserve.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and heat. Add the broccoli stems and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the florets and the remaining garlic and ginger, 2 tablespoons water, 1/4 teaspoon salt and some black pepper. Stir-fry until the broccoli is bright green but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Get the skillet good and hot again, and then heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the chicken and red pepper flakes if using. Stir-fry until the chicken loses its raw color and gets a little brown, about 3 minutes. Add the hoisin sauce, return the broccoli to the pan and toss to heat through. Stir in the reserved cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil to thicken. Add more water if need to thin the sauce, if necessary. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if you like.
- Mound the stir-fry on a serving platter or divide among 4 plates and garnish with sesame seeds; serve with rice.

Tips:
- Prep Ahead: Save time by chopping the broccoli, mushrooms, and chicken ahead of time. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A large cooking surface allows the ingredients to cook evenly and prevents overcrowding.
- High Heat: Stir-frying requires high heat to quickly cook the vegetables and chicken without overcooking them. If your pan is not hot enough, the ingredients will steam instead of fry.
- Stir Constantly: Stirring the ingredients frequently prevents them from sticking to the pan and ensures even cooking.
- Sauce Variations: Feel free to experiment with different sauces. Try using a store-bought stir-fry sauce, or make your own using soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and ginger.
- Serve Immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after cooking. The vegetables will lose their crispness and the chicken will become tough if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This stir-fry is a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared in under 30 minutes. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables, and it's also a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Serve it over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
