1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1 tablespoon dry sherry

⅔ cup soy sauce
¼ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or to taste
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into chunks
1 onion, sliced
3 cups broccoli florets

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.

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.
