Sunday, 10 June 2012


 Ingredients:
  • 4-6 chicken thighs (with or without the bone), skin removed 
  • 1 Head of Broccoli cut into florets
  • Oil for stir frying such as groundnut or vegetable oil 
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped 
  • 3 spring onions (American equivalent - Scallions), trimmed and sliced 
  • 1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and chopped 
  • 5 Tablespoons dark soy sauce 
  • 3 Tablespoons if light soy sauce
  • 6 teaspoons honey (approximately)
  • 6 tablespoons hot water   
Method: Steam or saute the broccoli to the softness you prefer & set aside.  Heat a wok over a high heat and add a bit of oil. Add the chicken and brown on all sides to seal the meat. Remove the chicken and set aside. Fry the garlic, spring onion and ginger for 30 seconds in the hot wok, adding a little more oil if necessary, tossing now and then.
Put the chicken back in the wok. Add the soy sauces, and the hot water and bring to a boil.Drizzle with some of the honey, cover and simmer, turning & drizzling with honey now and again for 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce reduced. Drizzle with the remainder of the honey, add the broccoli & coat with the sauce before serving. Serve with rice.
Variation: This dish can be served as a vegetarian dish with just the broccoli over rice.
