Ingredients

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce low sodium
  • 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Stir-Fry

  • 1 lb chicken sliced into thin bites
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 1 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger fresh, grated
  • 1 lb broccoli cut into florets, steamed* (see recipe notes)
  • Optional ramen noodles cooked

Instructions

  • Steam the broccoli. Check recipe notes for instructions, if needed. Whisk all the sauce ingredients together and keep the bowl handy near your skillet.
  • Toss the chicken with the cornstarch to coat evenly. Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the sesame oil and let it warm up for a few seconds. Add the chicken and cook, stirring often, until golden brown. 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the onion and cook for another 2 minutes, or until translucent. Stir in the garlic and ginger. Cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the broccoli and prepared sauce. Stir constantly, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the sauce is thickened and glossy. Remove the pan from the heat and garnish with sesame seeds. Optional: Toss with ramen noodles to serve.

Notes

*How to steam broccoli:

Stovetop (my favorite method) -

  1. Fill a pot of water with 1-2 inches of water. Bring the water to a boil.
  2. Add the broccoli florets to a steamer basket and place the basket inside the pot/ sitting on top of the pot, depending on what type of basket you have. Cover with a lid.
  3. Steam for 5 minutes, or until the broccoli becomes vibrant in color and can be pierced with a fork.

Microwave (still awesome 10/10 would recommend) -

  1. Place the broccoli florets in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour about 1/2 cup of water over the florets.
  2. Cover the bowl with a plate and microwave for 2-3 minutes, or until the broccoli becomes vibrant in color and can be pierced with a fork.
