Chicken with Broccoli Recipe

The Broccoli gets steamed and the chicken get velveted ahead of time so this is a dish that can be cooked very quickly once all of the prep is done.

Marinade:
8oz Chicken
1/2 Tablespoon Rice Wine
Splash of Soy Sauce
1 Egg White
1/2 Tablespoon Corn Starch

Sauce:
1/4 Cup Chicken Stock
1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon Hoisin Sauce
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 teaspoon black vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Garlic
1/2 teaspoon Ginger
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Pinch of White Pepper

Thickening slurry:
Water and corn starch (I normally use 2 Tablespoons water and 1 Tablespoon corn starch)

Coat Chicken with marinade and set aside.
Make sauce.
Steam Broccoli until just tender then rinse with cold water.
Add chicken to slowly boiling water. Stir quickly to prevent sticking and turn off heat. Stir for about 2 minutes until chicken is opaque. Remove from water, drain and let cool.
Heat wok on high heat, add oil and swirl.
Add chicken and cook until it gets just a bit of color.
Add sauce when starts to boil add Thickening slurry. When sauce is desired thickness turn off heat and serve.

I never thought of steaming the broccoli first, that is brilliant. Definitely doing this one. I was watching the video and wishing it was meal time.
 
sounds great and even looks better - going to try this one for sure this weekend
what could you sub for the black vinegar - balsamic or cider vingar??
 
I watched the video and answered my question thanks
but I wonder why you cooked the chicken that way instead of putting right into the wok?

Yes, I too thought that...I would prefer for it to go straight in the wok, that is how we normally do it
 
I bought the Kong Yen brand in a large Asian-American grocery store - Kong Yen Black Vinegar.

It's thick and very intensely flavored, kind of like a savory version of balsamic vinegar.

It is a very good one

I prefere Koon Chun
