Method

1

Start the rice

Rinse rice if its package recommends it, then cook with the water quantity and timing on the package. Keep covered and hot while finishing the chicken.

2

Prepare the vegetables

Wash broccoli and cut into small, even florets. Peel and grate ginger, and mince garlic.

3

Mix the glaze

Whisk soy sauce, honey, vinegar, cornstarch and 4 tbsp cold water until the starch is fully dissolved.

4

Cut the chicken

Cut chicken into 2 cm pieces with separate raw-meat tools. Wash hands and clean the board and knife before using them for anything else.

5

Brown and check

Heat oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 7–10 minutes, turning regularly. Check that the largest pieces reach 74°C (165°F) with a thermometer.

6

Steam the broccoli

Using clean utensils, stir in ginger and garlic for 30 seconds. Add broccoli and 3 tbsp water; cover for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.

7

Glaze and serve

Stir the sauce again, pour into the pan and simmer for 1–2 minutes until bubbling and glossy. Fluff the rice, divide into bowls and spoon chicken, broccoli and sauce over it.

Have the sauce mixed before you start: the final cooking goes quickly.
