Ingredients

• Thinly sliced chicken(Boneless thighs preferred)

• 4 cloves garlic minced

• ½ onion, sliced

• 1-2 Tbsp Cornstarch

• 1-2 tsp Baking soda

• ¼ cup water

  Stir-Fry Sauce

• ¼ cup soy sauce

• ⅛ cup rice cooking wine

• 1 tsp sesame oil

• 1 tbsp chili oil

• 2 tsp ponzu sauce

• 2 tsp hoisin sauce

Directions

1. Velvet the Chicken: Place chicken in a bowl, add cornstarch, baking soda, and ¼ cup of water. Massage meat until no water or cornstarch is visible. Season Beef, ¼ cup of stir-fry sauce and cornstarch. Use your hands to mix well until ingredients are fully incorporated. Allow to marinate for 20 mins. The broccoli will not be seasoned ahead of time so use the extra sauce to adjust the flavor. If needed, use a little salt and pepper to round out the flavor, or a dash of MSG. 

2. Stir Fry Sauce: Combine ingredients for the stir-fry sauce. Set aside

3. Grill: On your griddle on medium heat, cook Broccoli until al dente and move to your cool side. Add chicken to the hot side and spread evenly across the surface. Add onion and garlic on the side to begin sautéing. Pour the remaining stir-fry sauce over the meat and combine with the garlic and onion. Add mixed vegetables(optional) and then combine the chicken and broccoli together. The chicken should be moist and succulent. Served over a bowl of white sticky rice or noodles
