Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup chicken stock or 1/2 cup water
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1/2 tsp sugar
1 bunch broccoli, broken into small florets
2 tbsp canola oil
3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 bunch scallion, white and light green parts, sliced
1 tbsp cornstarch , dissolved in 2 tbsp water or 1 tbsp arrowroot , dissolved in
2 tbsp water

Directions:

In a small bowl, stir together the chicken stock or water, the soy sauce, vinegar and sugar.
Place the broccoli in a steamer basket above one inch of boiling water, cover and steam three minutes. Refresh under cold water, and set aside.
Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it ripples. Add the chicken. Cook, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through, about four minutes. Remove from the heat, and place in a bowl.
If the pan looks dry, add the second tablespoon of oil. Add the ginger, garlic and scallions, then stir-fry for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Add the broccoli and stir-fry for one minute, then return the cooked chicken to the pan and stir together. Pour in the sauce and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to a minute. Stir the dissolved cornstarch or arrowroot, add to the pan, and stir until the chicken and vegetables are glazed. Remove from the heat, and serve with rice or noodles.
****Variation: Stir-Fried Tofu and Broccoli. Many kids love tofu. In the recipe above, substitute 3/4 pound tofu, cut into 1/2- by 1-inch pieces, then follow the cooking instructions. In step three, cook the tofu for two to three minutes, until it begins to color.
****Advance preparation: You can steam the broccoli several hours ahead and have all of the ingredients prepped. The stir-frying can be done at the last minute.
