Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken breast cut into bite size pieces
  • 1 Leek whites only and finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 inch piece ginger peeled and grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch plus 1 teaspoon
  • 1 tablespoon sherry
  • 2/3 Cups water plus 3 tablespoons
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 head broccoli stems and florets
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl combine the chopped leeks, 1/2 of the garlic, 1/2 of the ginger, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and sherry. Stir well to combine and add the chicken. Coat well and set aside to marinade for about 15 minutes. Mix remaining cornstarch with 2/3 cups water.
  • In a large skillet set over medium to high heat, add 1 tablespoon of the oil along with broccoli stems and florets plus remaining garlic and ginger. Give a good toss and add 2-3 tablespoons of water. Stir fry for about 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • In reserved skillet set over high heat, add remaining oil. Add the chicken and chili flakes. Cook, tossing regularly, for about 7 minutes. Return the broccoli to the chicken and toss really well. Stir in remaining cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove from heat, serve over rice and garnish with sesame seeds.
