By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into small (~ 3/4") cubes
• 2 Tablespoons corn starch
• Coarse Salt
• Freshly-ground black pepper
• 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
• 1/4 cup peeled and minced garlic
• 1/4 cup peeled and minced ginger
• Pinch of red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup minced scallions (I used green onions)
• 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 head fresh broccoli, cut into small "trees"

Preparation

Step 1

Toss the Chicken with the cornstarch, a large pinch of salt, and pepper.

Heat the oil in a large, nonstick pan/wok over medium-high heat.

Add the garlic, ginger, green onion, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring for 1 minute.

Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally for 5-10 minutes.

Add the vinegar, sugar and 5-6 grinds of black pepper.

Add the broccoli

Boil on high for 3 minutes, or until the sugar has really caramelized, and the sauce is rich and sticky.

Add the soy sauce, cook for another minute or so.
