For the Stir-Fry:

- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Garnishes (optional):

Instructions
1. Marinate the Chicken
- In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil.
- Add the thinly sliced chicken and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
2. Prepare the Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, honey, and chicken broth. Set aside.
3. Steam the Broccoli
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 1-2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside. Alternatively, you can steam the broccoli for 3 minutes.
4. Cook the Chicken
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes, flipping once, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
5. Stir-Fry the Aromatics
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the wok.
- Stir-fry the minced garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Combine Everything
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Add the blanched broccoli and pour the sauce over the top.
- Toss everything together to coat evenly, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
7. Serve
- Remove from heat and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
- Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
