Recipe video above. This is just about the minimum ingredients you can use to make a great stir fry that still really stacks up to real Chinese take out! Extra saucy is how I like this - because broccoli florets have a tendency to hold lots of sauce but I still want some to soak my rice.Shortcut using Charlie - see Note 5 (the sauce in this recipe is basically Charlie!).

Ingredients

2 tbsp cornflour/cornstarch

3 tbsp soy sauce (, all purpose or light (Note 1))

1 1/2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine or Mirin ((Note 2))

3 tbsp oyster sauce ((Note 3))

2 tsp sesame oil

Dash of white pepper ((sub black))

2 tbsp oil (, peanut, vegetable or canola)

1/2 onion (, sliced)

2 garlic cloves (, finely minced)

500g/1 lb chicken thighs or breast, thinly sliced ((optional tenderise, Note 4))

400g/ 14 oz broccoli florets (, broken/cut into small bite size pieces (2 medium heads, ~5 cups))

1 1/4 cups water

Method

Broccoli: steam or boil using preferred method until cooked to your taste (it won't cook any further in the stir fry). I usually microwave steam 3 minutes on high. Drain well.

Sauce: Mix cornflour and soy sauce, then mix in remaining ingredients.

Tenderising option: Consider tenderising chicken breast using this method. (Not needed for thigh)

Cook: Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and onion, stir for 10 seconds until garlic starts to go golden.

Then add chicken and cook for 2 minutes or until the chicken is just cooked through.

Add broccoli, Sauce and water. Stir well and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the Sauce thickens and becomes glossy, and coats the ingredients.

Serve over rice!
