1 tablespoon soy sauce (low-sodium)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
Salt and pepper to taste
A pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients: Ensure the chicken is thinly sliced and the broccoli is cut into bite-sized florets for even cooking.
Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Stir-Fry the Broccoli: In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil. Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Combine Ingredients: Return the chicken to the pan with the broccoli. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a pinch of chilli flakes if using. Stir well to coat everything evenly and heat through for another 2 minutes.
Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with more chilli flakes if desired.
