Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 lb (450g) broccoli, cut into florets
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) vegetable oil, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, grated
  • 2 green onions, sliced, whites and greens separated
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) water
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine sliced chicken with Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, white pepper, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Mix well and marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Bring a pot of water to boil. Blanch broccoli for 30 seconds until bright green, then plunge into ice water. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. In another small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
  4. Heat a wok over high heat until smoking. Add 2 tablespoons oil and swirl to coat. Add chicken in a single layer and sear for 30 seconds, then stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until nearly cooked. Remove chicken and set aside.
  5. Return wok to medium-high heat and add remaining oil. Add garlic, ginger, and white parts of green onions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add blanched broccoli and stir-fry for 1 minute. Return chicken to wok and toss together.
  7. Pour in sauce mixture and bring to a simmer. Add cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Add green onion tops and toss until well-coated.
  8. Transfer to a serving plate and serve immediately with steamed rice.
