Steps:
- In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with the scallion whites, sugar, sesame oil, sherry, soy sauce, about half the garlic, half the ginger, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch and 1 teaspoon salt. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1/3 cup water in a small bowl and reserve.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and heat. Add the broccoli stems and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the florets and the remaining garlic and ginger, 2 tablespoons water, 1/4 teaspoon salt and some black pepper. Stir-fry until the broccoli is bright green but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Get the skillet good and hot again, and then heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the chicken and red pepper flakes if using. Stir-fry until the chicken loses its raw color and gets a little brown, about 3 minutes. Add the hoisin sauce, return the broccoli to the pan and toss to heat through. Stir in the reserved cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil to thicken. Add more water if need to thin the sauce, if necessary. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if you like.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic, broccoli, and chicken will give your stir-fry the best flavor.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil will help to tenderize it and give it more flavor.
- Cook the chicken over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the chicken and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Stir-fry the vegetables separately: This will help to ensure that they are cooked evenly and retain their crispness.
- Add the sauce at the end: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning and will also allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately, while they are still hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
This garlic chicken and broccoli stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the broccoli is crisp and tender, and the sauce is savory and flavorful. This stir-fry is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
