Directions: |
Directions:In a medium bowl, toss the chicken cubes with the green onion whites, half the garlic, half the ginger, soy sauce, sugar, 2 teaspoons of the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of the salt, the sherry, and the sesame oil. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Mix the remaining cornstarch with 1/2 cup water.
Heat a large nonstick skillet (or wok) over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add the remaining garlic, ginger, 2 tablespoons of water, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Stir fry until the broccoli is bright green, but still crisp...about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Get the skillet hot again and heat 2 more tablespoons oil. Add the chicken and red pepper flakes. Stir fry until the chicken gets a bit brown, about 4 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 necessary to thin the sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and peanuts, if desired. |

Notes: This is our go to stir fry recipe. To save time, sometimes I use jarred garlic and ginger. I also mix it up at times with additional vegetables, such as sliced red pepper, zucchini and mushrooms. Marinating the chicken a bit longer than 1/2 hour will only enhance the flavor. I serve over brown rice, jasmine rice or sometimes even ramen noodles. The combo of flavors in the marinade make this a keeper! Enjoy!
