Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Satisfies the chinese take out want!

Materials:

  • 1 1/3 cups soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 pinches red pepper flakes
  • 4 tablespoons of water
  • 4 tablespoons of cornstarch
  • 4 teaspoons of vegetable oil
  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into chunks (Slice thin at an angle rather than cube to get that stir fry chicken shape)
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 can water chestnuts, drained
  • 2 broccoli heads, made into bite size pieces
  • 2 cups uncooked jasmine rice

Procedures:

  • Mix together the water and cornstarch into a small bowl, stir with a whisk until cornstarch dissolves completely.
  • Mix together the rest of the spices and sauce into a bowl (you may decide that it is too much, I prefer to have extra sauce for the broccoli and rice to soak up).
  • Steam the broccoli until cooked
  • Fry the chicken in oil (preferrably in a wok, with a decent amount of oil), until cooked.
  • Once broccoli and chicken are cooked, combine into the pan with the water chestnuts and onion and cook in oil.
  • Stir in the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and immediately pour into the wok. Saute until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and veggies.
  • Serve over rice
