- Cut the broccoli into bite size and have some thin slices of carrot ready.
- Heat the pan to medium-high heat and add your broccoli and the carrot. Slighty roast them.
- In about 2 minutes, flip them over and sear the other side.
- High heat + add about 2 tbsp of oil. Wait until the oil is hot then add your chicken, separate them. Make sure every piece of the chicken touches the bottom directly. Wait for 1 minute or 2 and you can check the color. If you see it is nice and brown on the bottom then flip all the chicken over. Fry the other side.
- When both sides have nice color. Add the broccoli back to the wok. Give that a toss then pour in the sauce.
- Toss everything together and correct salt.
- Check the consistency of the sauce. When you see every piece of chicken and broccoli is coated nicely and the sauce is slightly thick, you can take it out.
