Hi everyone! Welcome to Cooking with Lin.

one video with over 3.7 million views. Thanks to you guys for watching and sharing as you guys
really loved it, right? Some of you asked me to make chicken and broccoli. That's what I'm
going to share with you today. Broccoli in Chinese, xi lang hua. Let's take a look at
the ingredients. I have one chicken breast and this is oyster sauce, about a tablespoon
instead of soy sauce. There's three cloves of garlic, minced. Of course, broccoli and
some sliced carrots for color and sweetness. Next, I'm going to slice the chicken.
So I have one chicken breast. That looks pretty big, right? Probably just save one piece like
that. A piece and just trim the fat. Now we just slice semi like that. Next, we're going to season
the chicken. To season the chicken, as usual, I just add a little bit of salt and white pepper
powder. A little bit of water. This is how we tenderize the meat. Just a little bit of starch.
I'm going to use potato starch, about half a teaspoon. Part of the tenderizing or we also call
velvety. We add a bit of oil. This also helps to make it tender and also seal the moisture.
Okay, we'll let this sit for five to ten minutes. We also need to make a slurry.
This is one tablespoon oyster sauce. If you don't have it, you can use
soy sauce. Just add a teaspoon of potato starch and about a quarter cup of water.
Now we're ready to cook. I'm heating up the pan to high. When it's hot, just add some oil. I'm
taking a few minutes. After a few minutes, our chicken is ready. There's no pink color.
So let's take it out and set it aside. Now I'm adding some water in the pan to steam the broccoli
and carrots. Just make this simpler for you guys. You don't need a steamer. You just do it in the
pot. Now the water is boiling. Just add our broccoli, carrots, just a little bit of salt,
and also garlic. From your guys' feedback, you don't like raw garlic. So we're going to cook
with the vegetable. And then we cover it. Cook about one and a half minutes. Depends on how
crunchy you like your vegetable. Just under two minutes, our vegetables are ready. Now we add a
chicken back and turn the heat to medium and mix well our slurry. I know you guys like more sauce
and optional, you can drizzle some sesame oil. Wow, smells good. Is that enough sauce for you
guys? And our chicken broccoli is ready. Beautiful color, right? Broccoli, carrots.
Let me just take some over rice, some sauce, and I'm ready to eat. Let me try it.
Delicious. Perfect. Broccoli is still crunchy. Carrot, sweet, and it is garlicky.
