→ Stir Fry Sauce
06 -
160 ml low-sodium chicken broth
07 -
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or Tamari for gluten free), plus more to taste
08 -
2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed (or honey to taste)
09 -
1 tablespoon corn starch
10 -
1 tablespoon sesame oil
11 -
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
12 -
1 teaspoon garlic, grated (from 2 small cloves)
13 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus additional for chicken seasoning
# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, corn starch, sesame oil, grated ginger, grated garlic, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly to dissolve the sugar and corn starch. For best results, use warm broth. Set aside.
02 -
Season chicken pieces lightly with black pepper. Heat a large heavy skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the oil. Arrange the chicken in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 1 minute. Stir fry for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden and just cooked through. Remove to a bowl and cover loosely.
03 -
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add broccoli florets, sliced onion, and mushrooms. Stir fry for 3 minutes, or until mushrooms are softened and broccoli is crisp-tender. Lower heat to medium-low.
04 -
Quickly stir the prepared sauce to recombine any settled starch. Pour the sauce over the vegetables. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and the aromatics are mellowed. If a thinner sauce is desired, add water a tablespoon at a time.
05 -
Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Stir fry everything together for about 30 seconds, or until the chicken is heated through. Adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce if desired. Serve immediately over hot steamed rice.
