Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry with Ginger and Garlic

This vibrant, restaurant-quality stir-fry comes together in minutes, delivering tender chicken, crisp broccoli, and a glossy sauce that makes weekend cooking feel effortless and exciting.

Ingredients:

• 500g chicken breast, sliced thin
• 500g broccoli florets
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 green onions, sliced
• Sesame seeds for garnish
• Cooked rice, for serving

Method:

1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Cook chicken in batches until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
2. Add remaining oil, then sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add broccoli and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
4. Return chicken to the pan. Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry, then pour over. Toss for 1–2 minutes until sauce coats everything.
5. Top with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over steaming rice.

Chef's tip: Slice your chicken against the grain and have all ingredients prepped before you start cooking—high heat moves fast, and you'll want everything ready to go for that perfect tender texture.
