Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced

2 cups fresh broccoli florets

1 medium onion, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, grated

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked jasmine rice or noodles for serving

Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken, soy sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and a touch more soy sauce if desired. Set aside.

      Steam the Broccoli: In a pot with a steam basket, add water and bring it to a boil. Place the broccoli florets in the basket, cover, and steam for about 3-5 minutes until they're bright green and tender but still crisp. Remove and set aside.

        Stir-Fry the Chicken: In a large wok or skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden color. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

          Sauté Aromatics: In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed, then toss in sliced onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

            Combine Ingredients: Add the steamed broccoli back to the pan along with the cooked chicken. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture, stirring everything to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

              Finish & Serve: Drizzle with sesame oil and give one final stir. Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
