Time 35m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 10

⅔ cup soy sauce
¼ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or to taste
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into chunks

3 cups broccoli florets

Steps:

  • Stir soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl to dissolve sugar into the liquid. Mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; stir with a whisk until cornstarch dissolves completely.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Fry chicken and onion in hot oil until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

  • Pour the soy sauce mixture into the vacant part of the skillet. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the soy sauce mixture until the color is consistent. Move the chicken and vegetables back into the center to the pan; saute until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables, about 5 minutes more.

  • Make sure your sauce is flavorful: The sauce is what makes this dish so delicious, so don't skimp on the ingredients. Use a good quality soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
  • Don't overcook the chicken or broccoli: The chicken should be cooked through but still tender, and the broccoli should be bright green and slightly crunchy.
