Third, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. It ought to be plenty to fry the fowl. Once the first three or four minutes have passed, toss in the marinated chicken and cook until nearly done, adding a little of browning. After removing the chicken from the pan, set it aside.
Fourth, stir-fry the vegetables with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Saute the minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, or until they release their fragrant compounds. Add the broccoli florets and carrots, and continue to stir-fry for another three or four minutes, or until they’re barely tender.
Fifth, combine and cook: return the cooked chicken to the pan. The sauce you just created is the perfect topping for the chicken and vegetables. Heat for an additional two or three minutes after mixing to allow sauce to thicken slightly and coat ingredients evenly.
Toss with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for a garnish if you want. Serve with steamed or fried hot rice on top.
