Ingredients
- 12 oz Chicken Thighs, sliced thin
- 3 cups Broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey or sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- Cooked rice, to serve
Method
- Stir soy, vinegar, honey, cornstarch, and ¼ cup water into a sauce. Have everything cut and within arm's reach — stir-fries don't wait.
- Heat half the oil in your widest pan until smoking. Sear the Chicken Thighs in a single layer, undisturbed for 90 seconds, then toss until nearly cooked. Remove.
- Add remaining oil and the Broccoli; cook hard with a splash of water until crisp-tender and charred in spots, 2–3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger for the final 30 seconds.
- Return the Chicken Thighs, pour the sauce down the side of the pan, and toss as it bubbles and turns glossy, about 1 minute. Serve over rice immediately.
