Ingredients

11/2 heads of broccoli  –   cut into florets &  washed

approx. 2  1/2  of chicken breast  – washed & cut into bite-size

2 tbs of flour

1 small  onion  – chopped

2 cloves of garlic  – chopped

1 tbs of sesame oil

2 tbs of corn starch

3 eggs

2 tbs of tapioca flour

 

½ tbs of salt – for boiling the pasta

Sear the chicken

  • Heat half of the vegetable oil called for In a large frying pan. I suggest you use the largest pan you have so you can cook in  larger batch each time.
  • Pan-fry each of the chicken pieces until cooked or slightly brown, absolutely no deep-frying necessary.  Repeat this process for all of the chicken.  To avoid t aking too much time you can do it larger batch too, it’s ok to crowd your pan.  As long as each of the chicken piece touches the pan, you are good to go.  Toss the chicken around so they are cooked evenly on all sides.

 

  • Take the chicken that have been cooked out of the heat, set aside.

 

  • In the same pan, heat the remaining half of the vegetable oil, saute onion, garlic until fragrance &translucent, add soy sauce, oyster sauce sesame oil, add 2 tbs of water. mix well, continue cooking until it starts bubbling add the previously pan-seared chicken and the broccoli combine well, continue cooking for  3 – 5 minutes on medium to high-heat .  Add seasoning if necessary.
