\"IMG_1509\"<\/a>
\n1 unchicken, cubed
\n3 scallions, whites only, thinly sliced on an angle
\n2 cloves garlic, minced
\n1-inch piece peeled fresh ginger, minced
\n1 tablespoon soy sauce
\n2 tablespoons sugar
\n1 tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
\n1 1\/4 teaspoons salt
\n1 tablespoon dry sherry
\n1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
\nAbout 1\/3 cup water
\n3 tablespoons vegetable oil
\n5 to 6 cups broccoli, trimmed sliced stalks and medium florets (keep the 2 cuts separate)
\n3\/4 to 1 teaspoon red chili flakes, optional
\n1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
\nGarnish: toasted sesame seeds, optional
\nServing suggestion: Jasmine rice<\/p>\n

In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with the scallion whites, about half the garlic and ginger, the soy sauce, sugar, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of the salt, the sherry, and the sesame oil. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix the remaining cornstarch with 1\/3 cup water.<\/p>\n

Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and heat. Add the broccoli stems, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the florets and 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 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.<\/p>\n

Get the skillet good and hot again, and then heat 2 more tablespoons oil. Add the chicken and chili flakes if using. Stir-fry until the chicken loses its raw color and gets a little brown, about 3 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 need to thin the sauce, if necessary. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if you like. Mound the stir-fry on a serving platter or divide among 4 plates and garnish with sesame seeds; serve with rice.<\/p>\n

Notes: The garlic and ginger can be chopped together in a minichopper to save time.<\/p>\n

Scallion greens can also be used to garnish, if you like that extra onion-y flavor and you want to use up the scallions.<\/p>\n

The broccoli stems are used (love all that fiber) to add textural contrast and also to help bulk up the dish, and why waste them?<\/p>\n
