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.
- Mound the stir-fry on a serving platter or divide among 4 plates and garnish with sesame seeds; serve with rice.
SIMPLE BROCCOLI STIR-FRY
Stir-frying has stood the test of time. It's a wonderful way to cook small pieces of vegetables and meat quickly, without a lot of fat. Prepping your ingredients ahead of time and having them near your stovetop is the key to success. This recipe can be made in a large nonstick skillet, but consider purchasing a wok: Carbon steel and cast-iron take on high heat well, and the concave shape makes stir-frying foods easy and fast.

Steps:
- Trim the florets off the broccoli, and cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces. Peel the broccoli stalks with a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin, and slice 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal. Set aside.
- Whisk together 1/2 cup water, soy sauce, cornstarch and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat a large wok over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, and swirl to coat the wok. Once the oil begins to smoke, add the broccoli florets and stems. Cook, stirring constantly, until browned around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water to steam the broccoli, and cook, stirring constantly, until tender, about 2 minutes more. Push the broccoli to the edges of the pan, forming an empty well in the center. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, then the scallions, garlic, ginger and pepper flakes, and stir until aromatic, 30 to 45 seconds. Add the soy mixture, and stir until the sauce has thickened and the broccoli is coated, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat, add the sesame oil and stir to coat. Serve with rice.

Steps:
- Add sliced pork to large bowl, cover with water and white vinegar. Let sit for a couple of minutes. Rinse well, and pat dry. Note: This is my method of washing meat, you can skip this step if you want to.
- In a large bowl combine Pork, 2 tbs. soy sauce, rice vinegar, 3 cloves chopped garlic, 1 teaspoons chopped ginger, sesame oil, and sugar. Toss to coat. Let marinade for at least 30 minutes, up to 24 hours (the longer it marinades the better it will taste). Bring to room temperature before cooking.
- After the pork has marinated and is at room temperature, remove pork from marinade, pat dry with paper towel (do not discard marinade). In the same bowl with the marinade add 2 tbs. soy sauce, 1 cup chicken stock, and cornstarch. Mix well, set aside.
- Heat a wok, or large deep saute pan over high heat until hot. Add canola oil, when oil is hot, add the pork. Stir-fry pork until no longer pink, about two minutes (I did this in 2 batches, not to overcrowd the pan).
- Transfer pork to plate and cover with foil. Add the onion to the pan, cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Add remaining 3 cloves chopped garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and remaining 1 teaspoons ginger. Cook, stirring constantly for 30 seconds.
- Add the carrots, broccoli, and 1/2 cup chicken stock. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the soy sauce mixture and the pork back to the pan, cook for about 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce thickens.
- Serve over brown rice or my white rice recipe # 503045.

Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with compact florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
- Cut the broccoli into uniform florets: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for florets that are about 1-2 inches in size.
- Blanch the broccoli before stir-frying: This will help preserve its color and crunch. To blanch the broccoli, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the broccoli florets. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the florets are bright green. Drain the broccoli and rinse with cold water.
- Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help the broccoli char and develop flavor. Make sure the wok or skillet is smoking hot before adding the broccoli.
- Stir-fry the broccoli in small batches: This will prevent the broccoli from getting overcrowded and steamed. Stir-fry the broccoli in batches of no more than 1 pound at a time.
- Add a flavorful sauce: Stir-fries are a great way to use up leftover sauces. Try using a simple soy sauce and garlic sauce, a spicy Szechuan sauce, or a sweet and sour sauce.
- Serve the stir-fried broccoli immediately: Stir-fried broccoli is best served hot and fresh. It can be served as a main course or a side dish.
Conclusion:
Stir-fried broccoli is a quick, easy, and healthy dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make the best stir-fried broccoli possible. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give stir-fried broccoli a try.
