Method
 

From Start to Finish: Broccoli Chicken Stir Fry
  1. In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken breasts, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and red pepper flakes. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for about 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, Sriracha, sugar, and rice vinegar. This sauce will give your stir fry a deliciously rich flavor, so don’t skip this step!
  3. In a wok or large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough to sizzle when you add the chicken.
  4. Add the marinated chicken to the hot oil in the wok. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  5. In the same wok, add a little more oil if needed. Toss in the broccoli florets and sliced carrots. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright and tender-crisp. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for an additional minute until fragrant.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the wok with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over everything, stirring to coat all the ingredients evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Remove the stir fry from the heat and serve immediately. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy your homemade Broccoli Chicken Stir Fry!
