1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chicken broth, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch for the sauce. Set aside.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: Make sure the cornstarch is fully dissolved to prevent lumps.

2. 2

   Heat half of the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

   Ongeveer 1 min

   Tip van de kok: Ensure the pan is hot before adding the chicken to get a good sear.

3. 3

   Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

   Ongeveer 7 min

   Tip van de kok: Do not overcrowd the pan; cook the chicken in batches if necessary.

4. 4

   Add the remaining vegetable oil to the same pan. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: If the broccoli starts to dry out, add a tablespoon of water and cover briefly to steam.

5. 5

   Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan with the broccoli. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.

   Ongeveer 1 min

   Tip van de kok: Be careful not to burn the garlic.

6. 6

   Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the broccoli.

7. 7

   Give the prepared sauce a quick whisk, then pour it over the chicken and broccoli. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: The sauce will thicken quickly due to the cornstarch.

8. 8

   Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.

   Tip van de kok: Best served over steamed white or brown rice.
