STIR-FRIED CHINESE BROCCOLI AND CHICKEN WITH HOISIN
The extra step to "velvet" the chicken is worth it for such tender, succulent chicken. I always look for sustainably raised chicken.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the egg white, cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the rice wine or sherry, salt to taste and 1 1/2 teaspoons water. When you can no longer see any cornstarch, add the chicken and stir together until coated. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes
- Bring 2 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large saucepan and add the Chinese broccoli. Boil 2 minutes, until it is just crisp-tender, and transfer it to a bowl of cold water. Do not drain the water from the pot. Drain the broccoli and dry on paper towels. Cut into 2-inch lengths
- Combine the remaining rice wine, the hoisin sauce and the soy sauce in a small bowl and set near your wok
- Bring the water in the pot back to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of the oil and turn the heat down so that the water is at a bare simmer. Carefully add the chicken to the water, stirring so that the pieces don't clump. Cook until the chicken turns opaque on the surface but is not cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the remaining oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the mushrooms, chicken, broccoli, hoisin sauce mixture and salt to taste. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, and serve with grains or noodles

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 for Making Hoisin Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry
- Use high-quality hoisin sauce. A good hoisin sauce will be thick and flavorful, with a slightly sweet and tangy taste. Look for a brand that uses real fermented soybeans and doesn't contain any added sugar.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the hoisin sauce and make it more tender. If you don't have time to marinate the chicken, you can still make the dish, but the chicken won't be as flavorful.
- Use a wok or large skillet. A wok is the ideal cookware for stir-frying, but a large skillet will also work. Make sure the pan is large enough to hold all of the ingredients without overcrowding them.
- Cook the chicken over high heat. This will help to sear the chicken and keep it juicy. If you cook the chicken over low heat, it will become tough and dry.
- Add the vegetables towards the end of the cooking time. This will help to keep them crisp and tender. If you add the vegetables too early, they will become overcooked and mushy.
- Serve the stir-fry immediately. This dish is best served hot and fresh out of the wok or skillet.
Conclusion
Hoisin chicken and broccoli stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it's also a healthy and affordable option.
