Steps:
- Stir soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl to dissolve sugar into the liquid. Mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; stir with a whisk until cornstarch dissolves completely.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Fry chicken and onion in hot oil until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir broccoli with the chicken and onion; saute until the broccoli is hot, about 5 minutes. Push the chicken and vegetables mixture to the side of the skillet.
- Pour the soy sauce mixture into the vacant part of the skillet. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the soy sauce mixture until the color is consistent. Move the chicken and vegetables back into the center to the pan; saute until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables, about 5 minutes more.

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH BROCCOLI OR CAULIFLOWER
This is the model recipe for making stir-fried chicken with firm vegetables, those that must be parboiled before stir-frying. The extra step sometimes saves time and always helps you pinpoint doneness. But if you want to cook everything in one pan, cut the broccoli into small bits (1/2 inch or so) and start the recipe at Step 2. Serve with white or brown rice.

Steps:
- Add the rice to a small saucepan and rinse until the water is no longer cloudy. Add enough water to cover the rice by 1 inch and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer until "craters" form in the rice, about 10 minutes. Lower the heat all the way and cover until ready to serve.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it and cook the broccoli until it just loses its rawness, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, then run under cold water to stop the cooking. Chop into bite-size pieces.
- Put a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil, swirl it around and immediately add the onions, ginger and garlic and cook until the onion begins to brown and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove the onion mixture to a plate. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan, then add the broccoli in an even layer and cook until it begins to brown, tossing occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the broccoli to the plate with the onion mixture.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan, then add the chicken. Raise the heat to high, stir the chicken once, and let it sit for 1 minute before stirring again. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the chicken has lost its pink color, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Return the vegetables to the pan and toss once or twice. Add the soy sauce and scallions and toss again. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then add the stock and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced slightly and you've scraped up all the bits of chicken, about 30 seconds. Garnish with more scallions and serve over the rice.

BROCCOLI AND CHICKEN STIR-FRIED RICE
This is adapted from Cooking Light, July 2007. I really think it is one of my favorite stir-fry recipes out there, It is also very flexible...I'm sure you could sub in other veggies for some of the broccoli, like water chestnuts or carrots or mushrooms. Let your imagination run wild :). The original recipe calls for 2 T reduced-sodium soy sauce plus 1/4 t table salt stirred in at the end, but I think it is salty enough as written here.

- Cut the chicken and vegetables into uniform pieces: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the ingredients without overcrowding the pan.
- Heat the oil over high heat: This will help to sear the chicken and vegetables and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Stir-fry the ingredients in batches: This will help to prevent them from overcrowding the pan and becoming soggy.
- Add the sauce and rice last: This will help to prevent the rice from becoming overcooked.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fried rice is best served hot and fresh.
