Cooking Instructions:
Begin by marinating the sliced chicken breast. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Add the chicken slices and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the broccoli. Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for about 2 minutes until they're bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the marinated chicken to the skillet, spreading it out in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
Once the chicken is cooked, add the blanched broccoli to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and stir-fry everything together for an additional 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is heated through.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more chicken broth or water to achieve your desired consistency.
Serve the Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry hot over a bed of cooked rice or noodles, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
For extra tips, remember to prep all your ingredients before starting to cook, as stir-frying is a quick process that requires your full attention. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for more color and nutrition.
Feel free to adjust the sauce ingredients according to your taste, and don't hesitate to experiment with different proteins, such as beef or tofu, to create your own version of this classic dish. Enjoy your cooking!
