  1.1 lbs
• Broccoli florets

  10.6 oz
• Soy sauce

  4.0 tbsp
• Fresh ginger

  1 tbsp
• Garlic

  2 cloves
• Sesame oil

  1.0 tsp

  0.5 oz
• Brown sugar

  0.4 oz
• Chicken broth

  4.0 tbsp
• Vegetable oil

  1.0 tbsp
• Cooked rice

  2 servings

All Steps

1. 1

   Slice chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss chicken with 5g of cornstarch and 15ml of soy sauce. Set aside.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together remaining soy sauce, chicken broth, sesame oil, brown sugar, remaining 10g of cornstarch, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Set aside.

3. 3

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

4. 4

   Add broccoli florets to the same pan. If needed, add a tablespoon of water, cover, and steam for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender-crisp. Alternatively, stir-fry until desired tenderness.

5. 5

   Return cooked chicken to the pan with the broccoli. Give the prepared sauce a quick stir and pour it over the chicken and vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients, about 1-2 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve immediately over steamed rice.
