Chinese Style Chicken With Broccoli

Directions

1. 1 Place the chicken in a non-metallic bowl and add in the soy sauce, rice wine or possibly sherry, salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp sesame oil and the cornflour. Mix well to combine and place in the fridge to marinate for 30 min.
2. 2 If you are using Chinese broccoli, cut it into 4cm/1 1/2" segments.
3. If you are using ordinary, separate the broccoli heads into small florets, then peel and slice the stems.
4. 3 Blanch in a pan of boiling salted water for 1-2 min till just tender and immerse in cool water. Drain thoroughly.
5. 4 Heat a wok or possibly large frying pan over a high heat till warm. Add in the groundnut oil, and when it is slightly smoking, add in the garlic, ginger and remaining 1/2 tsp pepper.
6. 5 Stir-fry for a few seconds, add in the chicken and stir-fry for four min or possibly till the chicken is sealed and browned.
7. 6 Add in the blanched broccoli, chillies and fish sauce to the pan, adding the stock or possibly water as needed. Stir-fry at a moderate to high heat for four min or possibly till the chicken is cooked and the broccoli is heated through.
8. 7 Add in the oyster sauce and remaining 2 tsp sesame oil and stir-fry for another two min. Serve at once with some rice, if liked.
