  • Serves: 4
  • Type: main

Background

This is one of my “What I am going to cook?” best solutions. Also, this recipe makes me think nostalgically about good Chinese food I used to eat in Peru. I learnt to cook this plate observing my father (who is a Chinese food lover and a quiet chef) during years, he usually prepare it with a spectacular “chancho asado” (oven roast pork), but since sometimes this is my meal savior I keep it simple. This is healthy recipe and it is easy to make. You can use also pork or beef instead of chicken or even shrimps and tofu.

  • 2 green onion sticks
  • 300 grams Mid-cooked brocoli
  • 1 chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon chili sauce (if you have doubanjiang sauce you can use it instead)

  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Vegetable oil (not exceed!)

Steps

  1. Cut the meat (chicken) in dices

  2. Marinate the chicken with the ginger powder, a little pinch of chili sauce (or doubanjiang sauce), half soy and oyster sauce, white pepper and a bit of salt. Set aside for a least 10 minutes or during the time you cut the vegetables. More time the meat is marinated it becomes tastier.

  3. Mince the garlic

  4. Cut in thick slices all the vegetables
