Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Slice the chicken thinly against the grain and toss with the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce. Leave 10 minutes.

Mix the remaining soy sauce, honey and water into a sauce and set it within reach — stir-frying leaves no time to measure.

Get the pan very hot, add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Sear the chicken in one layer without stirring for 90 seconds, then toss until just cooked and remove.

Add the broccoli and 3 tablespoons of water, cover for 2 minutes to steam it bright green and crisp-tender.

Add garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, return the chicken, pour in the sauce and toss for a minute until it thickens and coats.

Off the heat, finish with sesame oil.
