Hoisin Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Steps

1. 1

   Toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch and let it sit while you prep the rest, about 10 minutes.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk the hoisin, remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1/4 cup water.

3. 3

   Heat 1 tablespoon of the neutral oil in a 12-inch skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken in a single layer, let it sear undisturbed for 1 minute, then stir-fry until no pink remains and it reaches 165°F, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

4. 4

   Add the remaining oil and the broccoli to the pan with 2 tablespoons water. Cover and cook, shaking the pan once or twice, until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.

5. 5

   Uncover, push the broccoli aside, and add the garlic, ginger and green onion whites to the clearing. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

6. 6

   Return the chicken and any juices, whisk the sauce again and pour it in. Toss until the sauce thickens and coats everything, about 1 minute.

7. 7

   Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and green onion greens and serve right away over steamed rice.
