Description
A delicious and easy-to-make dish that brings the vibrant flavors of Chinese takeout to your home kitchen.
Ingredients
- 1 large head of broccoli (cut into florets)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1½ lbs skinless, boneless chicken thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 3 cloves garlic (peeled and finely chopped)
- 3 green onions (trimmed and sliced)
- 1-inch piece of ginger (peeled and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (or oyster sauce for less sweetness)
- 3 tablespoons light soy sauce (extra to taste)
- 6 tablespoons honey (approximately)
- 6 tablespoons hot water
Instructions
- Steam or sauté broccoli until tender-crisp, then set aside.
- Heat a wok over high heat, adding a splash of vegetable oil. Toss in the chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Add more oil if needed. Stir-fry garlic, green onions, and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return chicken to the wok. Pour in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and hot water. Bring to a boil.
- Drizzle with honey, cover, and simmer for 7-10 minutes, turning chicken occasionally until cooked through and sauce thickens.
- Add broccoli back to the wok and toss until heated through and coated in sauce.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the chicken in soy sauce and a pinch of honey for 30 minutes before cooking. Feel free to mix in other vegetables for variety.
