INSTRUCTIONS
PREP
- Cut broccoli florets into bite sized pieces and soak it in a mixture of 4 cups water with 1 tsp baking soda for 10-15 minutes. This will clean the broccoli thoroughly. Once soaked, rinse it with clean water and pat dry
- Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and coat with 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tbsp cornstarch and set aside for 15-30 mins
- Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. This makes it easy while cooking
COOKING
- To a pan/wok on high heat, add 3 tbsp oil and fry the chicken until its golden and cooked though (about 5-6 mins). Check a big piece of the chicken to see if its done and set them aside
- To the same pan add broccoli florets and stir fry on high heat until lightly charred. The light char adds a lovely smoky aroma
- Add some oil if needed and stir fry ginger and garlic for 1 minute
- Pour in the sauce and stir for 1 min for crunchy broccoli and 3 mins for soft/tender broccoli
- Add the chicken and mix well. Cook for 1 minute to warm the chicken
- For more sauce, add 1/2 cup water + 1 tsp cornstarch. Taste and adjust salt as needed
- Serve it with hot steamed rice, pickled broccoli stem and enjoy!
