Instructions

In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, red pepper flakes, cornstarch and water.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and broccoli and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
Add the green onions to the skillet and stir to combine.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the sesame oil over the top of the chicken and broccoli. Stir to combine.
Serve the Asian-style chicken and broccoli over cooked white rice.

Notes

Soy Sauce: Both regular and dark soy sauce are used in this recipe. The dark soy sauce has a deeper color and slightly sweeter flavor, contributing to the overall richness of the dish. You can use just regular soy sauce if you can't find dark soy sauce.
Hoisin Sauce: Hoisin sauce adds a sweet and salty flavor to the dish. If you don't have it on hand, a combination of brown sugar and soy sauce can be used as a substitute.
Rice: The recipe calls for serving the dish over cooked rice. You can choose white, brown, or even cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
Vegetables: Feel free to add other veggies you have on hand. Bell peppers, snap peas, or even mushrooms would work great in this dish.
Heat Level: If you prefer more heat, increase the amount of red pepper flakes, or add some fresh sliced chili or a dash of Sriracha sauce.
