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.

SPICY-TANGY CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI STIR FRY
Chicken, broccoli, and cashews stir-fried in a citrus and red pepper sauce, served over rice. I wanted to make a tasty stir fry with ingredients I had on hand and this is what I came up with. I also didn't have time to marinate. I have the chicken and broccoli cut and ready to go before I start the rice. Once the rice has been on simmer for about 5 of its 20 minutes, I start frying the broccoli/ cashews and the chicken. This results in all ingredients being ready at the same time.

Steps:
- Dice the boneless chicken tights into 2cm x 2cm cubes, then marinate them with 2 tbsps of light soy sauce and 2 tbsps of Chinese yellow cooking wine, set aside.
- Cut the stem off the broccoli then break the florets into small pieces slightly bigger then the diced chicken thights. Chop the brown onion and tomato into the similar size as the diced chicken thighs. Finely chop the garlic, ginger and spring onions. Separate the green part of the finely chopped spring onions for garnish later.
- Heat 2 tbsps of olive oil in the wok, then stir fry the diced chicken thighs on high heat for 2-3 mins until gold and brown. Take out the chicken and drain the oil, then set aside.
- Heat 2 tbsps of olive oil in the wok on medium heat, then stir fry the finely chopped spring onion (white part only), ginger, garlic for 1 min, then add in aniseed, ground pepper, and dry chillies (break into half), stir fry for further 1-2 mins until you can smell the fragrance.
- Add in chopped brown onion and tomato, stir fry for 1 min, then add in 2 tbsps of Chinese yellow cooking wine, stir fry for further 3 mins until soften.
- Add in the browned chicken, stir fry for 1 min, then add in 1 heaped tbsp of spicy bean paste, stir fry for further 2 mins. Add in boiling water just enough to cover the chicken, then add in the Knorr chicken stock pot, mix it in well. Turn the heat to low and continue to boil the chicken for 3 mins. Then add in the broccoli and dark soy sauce, continue to boil on high heat for further 6 mins until the broccoli is tender but is still bright green. Be careful not to over cook the broccoli.
- Mix the cornstarch with 5 tbsps of cold water, then add it into the wok. Turn down the heat and stir for 1 min until the sauce is thick and smooth, add salt according to your personal preference. Put it into serving dish and sprinkle the finely chopped green spring onion on top of the dish as garnish, then ready to serve with rice.
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cut chicken and broccoli florets.
- Marinate the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to tenderize the chicken and give it a flavorful coating.
- Use a large skillet or wok to cook the stir-fry. This will help to ensure that the chicken and broccoli cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken and broccoli over high heat, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out and the broccoli from becoming soggy.
- Add the sauce to the stir-fry and cook for a few minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles.
Conclusion:
This spicy tangy chicken and broccoli stir-fry is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and juicy, the broccoli is crisp-tender, and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. This stir-fry is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
