Ingredients

Sauce

  • 240 ml chicken stock - or vegetable
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine - Shoaxing
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Stir-fry

  • 2 tbsp cornflour
  • 600 grams chicken breast - cut against the grain into 1cm thick pieces
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp ginger - minced or finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic - minced or finely chopped
  • 150 grams broccoli - cut into small florets
  • 150 grams snow peas - trimmed

Instructions

  • Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Combine the cornflour with 1 tablespoon of cold water, adding a little more water if necessary, to form a thin paste. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for approximately 2 minutes.
  • Add the ginger and garlic and cook for a further 30 seconds, before adding the broccoli. Continue stirring over high heat until the chicken is just tender.
  • Add the sauce, snow peas and cornflour mix and stir-fry until the sauce thickens - it should not take much longer than 30 seconds.
  • Remove from the heat and serve immediately with fluffy steamed rice, Baked (Fried) Rice, noodles or simply by itself!
