Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast ((or thighs, 340g))
3 tablespoons water ((45 ml))
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2/3 cup low sodium chicken stock ((160 ml, warmed))
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar ((or brown sugar))
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
4 cups broccoli florets ((300g))
3 tablespoons vegetable oil ((divided))
2 cloves garlic ((minced))
1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger ((grated, optional))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
2 tablespoons cornstarch ((mixed with 2 tablespoons water to form a cornstarch slurry))

Steps:

  • Start by marinating your chicken. In a bowl, add the sliced chicken, 3 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 1 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil. Rub the marinade ingredients into the chicken with your hands until all the liquid has been absorbed by the chicken. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Next, prepare the sauce mixture. In a small bowl or measuring cup, add the warm chicken stock, sugar, soy sauce, dark soy sauce , oyster sauce, sesame oil and white pepper. Stir everything together until well combined and set aside.
  • Boil water in your wok and blanch the broccoli for 1 minute (or 2 minutes if you like your broccoli softer). Drain and set aside.
  • Clean and dry your wok. Place it over high heat until smoking. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and sear the chicken until opaque on all sides (this shoul d only take about 3 minutes). Turn off the heat, remove the chicken, and set aside. The chicken will be about 90% done, but will be cooked again at the end.
  • Without washing the wok, set the flame to medium heat. Add another tablespoon of oil, along with the garlic and ginger (if using). Stir the garlic and ginger for 5 seconds and add the Shaoxing wine around the perimeter of the wok. Then pour in the sauce mixture. Use your wok spatula to stir the sauce around the sides of the wok to deglaze, and let it come to a simmer.
  • Stir up the cornstarch and water slurry and drizzle the mixture into sauce while stirring constantly. Allow the sauce to simmer for 10 to 15 seconds until thick and gravy-like.
  • Toss in the chicken and its juices and the blanched broccoli. Stir-fry until the chicken and broccoli is coated in the sauce.
  • At this point, you can make adjustments. If you like your brown sauce darker, add a dash more of dark soy sauce. Add more cornstarch slurry if your sauce is too thin, or more chicken stock or water if the sauce is too thick. Serve with steamed rice.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb (450 g) boneless skinless chicken breast ((or thigh))
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 soy sauce))
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 head broccoli (, chopped into bite-sized florets)
2 tablespoons peanut oil ((or vegetable oil))
4 cloves garlic (, minced)
1 teaspoon ginger (, minced)

Steps:

  • Slice the chicken against the grain into thin bite-size pieces, no thicker than 1/4" (1/2 cm), transfer into a medium-size bowl. Add the marinade ingredients. Stir to mix well. Let sit for 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
  • Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Stir to mix well.
  • Bring 1/3 cup of water to a boil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and cover. Steam until the broccoli just turns tender and the water evaporates, about 40 to 50 seconds. Transfer the broccoli to a plate. Wipe the pan with a paper towel held in a pair of tongs if there's any water left.
  • Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Spread the chicken in the skillet in a single layer. Allow to cook without touching for 30 seconds, or until the bottom side is browned. Flip to cook the other side for a few seconds. Stir and cook until the surface is lightly charred and the inside is still pink.
  • Add the garlic and ginger. Stir a few times to release the flavor and fragrance.
  • Return the broccoli to the pan. Stir the sauce again to dissolve the cornstarch completely and pour it into the skillet. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Transfer everything to a plate immediately.
  • Serve hot with steamed rice or boiled noodles as a main dish.
