Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, toss 1 lb sliced chicken with 1 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering, then add chicken and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through; remove and set aside.

  3. Step 3: Add 2 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl.
  4. Step 4: Return chicken to the skillet, pour in the sauce mixture, and stir until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and broccoli, about 2 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately over 1 cup cooked jasmine rice, garnished with 1 tbsp sesame seeds.
