Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon (10 ml) s vegetable oil
- 1 pound (454 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoon (30 ml) s cornstarch
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 teaspoon (10 ml) s minced fresh ginger
- 4 medium garlic cloves
- 3 cup (720 ml) s broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoon (30 ml) s water
- 66666668653488 cup (160 ml) soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) oyster sauce
- 25 cup (60 ml) brown sugar
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Start by assembling all the necessary items.
- In a large non-stick pan, warm the oil over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer, which should take around 2 minutes. While waiting, combine the chicken and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in a medium-sized bowl, ensuring the chicken is fully coated.
- Place the chicken in the pan in a single layer and cook, stirring frequently, until it is crispy and fully cooked, approximately 6 minutes. Add the onions and continue to cook, stirring often, until they become see-through, roughly 1 minute. Stir in the ginger and garlic, cooking continuously until they release their aroma, about 1 minute. Move the chicken mixture onto a plate and set it aside for later.
- Put the broccoli into the now-empty pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring every so often, until it turns bright green and is heated throughout, which should take 2 to 3 minutes.
- In the meantime, whisk together the water, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth, approximately 30 seconds.
- Return the cooked chicken mixture to the pan with the broccoli, add the soy sauce blend and cook, stirring non-stop, until both the broccoli and chicken are well covered, and the sauce starts to thicken, around 2 minutes.
- Serve right away and enjoy your meal!
Notes
- Marinate chicken in a soy sauce, ginger, and garlic mixture for added flavor before cooking.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce and reduce brown sugar for a healthier dish.
- Enhance the dish by adding bell peppers or snap peas for extra nutrition.
