Ingredients for Garlic Stir Fried Broccoli
150 Gms Broccoli , washed and cut into florets
2 tsp finely minced garlic
1 tbsp oil
Method
– Boil broccoli florets in boiling water and salt . Do not overcook the broccoli to maintain its crunch and green colour .
– Heat a pan , add oil , fry the mince garlic till light brown and toss the broccoli. Add salt pepper to taste . Please reminder to prepare this dish on high flame .
500 gms of boneless chicken – preferred will be leg boneless ( it’s much more moist and flavourful than chicken breast , but not easily available ) so today’s we have chicken breast .
Salt and pepper to taste
Method for panfrying chicken / skewers
– Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Brush the pan with a little oil. Cook chicken skewers or flattened chicken breast 2-3 minutes each side . Brush chicken with a generous amount of teriyaki sauce. Turn and brush the other side. Keep turning and basting chicken until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through.
– Transfer skewers / chicken breast to a plate . Let the meat “ rest “ for 5 minutes . This is an important step .
– If you immediately cut the cooked piece all it’s juices will flow out . “ Resting “ the meat allows the juices to remain in and keep the chicken moist at consumption
– Cut the chicken breast up as shown in the pics / video or place the skewers on a bed of rice . Drizzle extra teriyaki sauce and Top it with spring onions and sesame seeds .
