Hello everyone. Today we are making chicken and broccoli stir-fry.
The chicken is tender with a light golden sear.
The broccoli is crisp and bright and everything
is coated in a light savory sauce. It's simple to make
and perfect for a quick weeknight meal. Let's start with the broccoli.
Today I'm using two heads of broccoli. Just cut them
into bite-sized florets. If any pieces are too large,
slice them in half through the stem rather than cutting through the tops.
Then soak the broccoli in salty water for 5 to 10 minutes.
Rinse well and set aside. Then finely mince 3 cloves of garlic.
We also need 3 slices of ginger. Now let's move on to the chicken. I'm
using chicken breast today. Slice the chicken breast into thin
pieces. You can use chicken thighs too if you
prefer. Then marinate the chicken with soy sauce,
vegan oyster sauce, a pinch of white pepper,
sugar, and a little bit baking soda. Give them a good mix.
Then add some cornstarch and water. Mix again
till everything is well combined. Finish with a tablespoon of oil and mix
one more time. Let it sit for about 15 to 20 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, let's make the sauce.
Combine half a tablespoon of soy sauce, half a tablespoon of vegan oyster sauce,
a pinch of white pepper, and a half a teaspoon of sugar.
Give it a good mix. Now let's cook the broccoli.
Add some oil to the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the broccoli and
give a quick stir. Then add a splash of cooking wine and
stir briefly to let it evaporate. After that,
season with a little bit salt and sugar. Then add some chicken broth and toss
everything together. Cover and let it steam for 15 to 20
seconds. Remove the lid and give a quick stir.
Then take it out and set aside. Finally, let's cook the chicken. Add some
more oil to the pan. Then add the ginger slices and let them
cook till fragrant. Add the chicken and spread it out in a
single layer. Let it sear without moving for a moment
till the bottom is slightly golden. Then give a quick stir. If you prefer very
tender chicken, you can add the stir-fry sauce at this point.
But for me, I like those slightly golden crispy edges,
so I cook it a little bit longer. Now add the garlic and stir till fragrant.
Pour in the stir-fry sauce and mix well. Then add some chicken broth. If you like
more sauce, you can add a little more here.
Then turn off the heat, return the broccoli,
drizzle in a little sesame oil, and give everything a quick toss.
And that's it. Our chicken broccoli is ready.
Tender chicken with a nice golden sear, crispy broccoli, and a light savory
sauce. It's simple but so good. I can already
smell how good this is. Hope you give it a try. If you enjoyed
