For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of sambal oelek according to your spice preference. Garnish with chopped green onions for a pop of freshness. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a bowl, gently toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch, salt, and white pepper until evenly coated. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld. (Prep Time: 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil. Sauté the minced garlic and ginger until their fragrant aroma fills your kitchen. (Cook Time: 1 minute)
03
StepIntroduce the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sambal oelek, and sesame oil to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously, and let it simmer for about a minute to allow the flavors to harmonize. Remove from heat and set aside. (Cook Time: 2 minutes)
04
StepIn a large nonstick skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer. Stir-fry until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides. (Cook Time: 8-10 minutes)
05
StepRemove the chicken from the skillet using a slotted spoon. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, followed by the carrots, shallots, and broccoli. Stir-fry rapidly and continuously until the vegetables are slightly tender-crisp. (Cook Time: 3-4 minutes)
06
StepPour in the prepared sauce, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly. Continue to cook until the vegetables reach your desired level of tenderness. (Cook Time: 2-3 minutes)
07
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. Add this slurry to the skillet, stirring rapidly to combine. Return the chicken to the skillet, stirring often, until heated through and the sauce has thickened. (Cook Time: 2-3 minutes)
08
StepRemove from heat, sprinkle generously with sesame seeds, and serve hot over rice or noodles. (Prep Time: 1 minute)
