1
Add the marinade/velveting ingredients to a large freezer bag or bowl; whisk to combine. Add chicken and turn until evenly coated.

Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable or peanut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once very hot, add chicken and stir fry until golden, about ⏱️ 2-3 minutes (chicken will not be cooked through). Remove chicken to a plate.

To the now empty skillet, heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil/vegetable oil until very hot and sizzling. Add the broccoli and stir fry for ⏱️ 30 seconds. Add water, garlic and ginger and stir fry one minute.
