INGREDIENTS :

• 3 tbsp light soy sauce (extra to taste)

• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 6 tbsp hot water
• 6 tbsp honey approximately
• 1 large head of Broccoli, cut into florets
• 6 boneless chicken thighs skinless
• 2 tbsp Hoisin Sauce or oyster sauce for less sweetness
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
• 3 green/spring onions, trimmed and sliced

DIRECTIONS :

1. You can either sauté or steam the broccoli. If you are going to sauté it, place a wok on the stove and turn the heat to high.
2. Add a bit of oil and allow it to become hot. Add the broccoli and sauté for a few minutes. Transfer them onto a clean plate.
3. In the same wok, add more oil and allow it to become hot.
4. Add the chicken thighs, then sear each side for a few minutes until they turn brown. Transfer them onto a clean plate as well.
5. In the same wok, add ginger, garlic, and spring onion. Sauté for about a minute or until aromatic.
6. Add the chicken thighs back into the skillet together with hot water, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. Toss everything until well incorporated. Allow the mixture to boil.
7. Add honey on top, then cover the wok with the lid. Simmer everything for about 10 minutes or until the chicken thighs are done.
8. Put the sauteed broccoli, then toss until well incorporated with the rest of the ingredients.
9. Serve right away. Enjoy!

Notes:

• Make sure to prepare all the ingredients before you start cooking.
• High heat will prevent the ingredients from sticking to the wok.
• Feel free to add slurry (cornstarch and water mixture) if you want the sauce to become thick.
