Ingredients
Ingredients
1pound(454g)uncooked chicken, cut into 3/4" pieces
1pound(454g)broccoli florets, cut into bite sized pieces
Make the sauce: in medium bowl whisk together the water and cornstarch until smooth. Whisk in the remaining all sauce ingredients (soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame seed oil). Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tablespoon of oil to the pan then add the chicken. Sear until cooked though and all sides are golden. Remove the chicken from the pan.
Add 2 Tablespoons of oil, onion, garlic and ginger into the same pan the chicken was cooked in. Cook until soft and translucent. Add broccoli and cook until broccoli is tender, stirring constantly (if you like your broccoli soft, add about 1/4 cup of water to the broccoli while it cooks - it should be absorbed and evaporated off by the time the broccoli is soft). Add the chicken back into the pan with the broccoli.
Stir the sauce one more time to make sure the cornstarch is incorporated, then pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Heat the sauce to a strong simmer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes to thicken the sauce, stirring occasionally to make sure all chicken and broccoli is coated with sauce.Serve warm over rice or noodles if desired.
