Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry
Description
This stir fry features marinated chicken thighs lightly dusted with cornstarch, which promotes a golden crust during pan frying. The sauce incorporates chicken stock, oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar, fresh ginger, and garlic, infusing the dish with umami and bright acidity. Sriracha can be added for mild heat at the cook’s discretion.
Broccoli florets are cooked until just tender, retaining a fresh crunch that contrasts with the juicy chicken pieces. The combined ingredients finish in the pan so the sauce thickens slightly, coating the ingredients evenly.
Serving immediately preserves the texture and vibrant flavors. Toasted sesame seeds sprinkled on top add a subtle nutty aroma and slight crunch that complements the dish’s profile.
