DISH COURTESY OF JET TILA
Level: Easy
Total: 30 minutes
Active: 30 min
Yield: 4 servings

Components

Chicken:

1 1/2 cups (335 grams) broccoli florets
1 1/2 quarts (1.8 liters) vegetable oil, plus 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) for stir-frying
2 pounds (900 grams) boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch (3-centimeter) dice
1 1/2 cups (335 grams) tempura flour, plus 1 cup (223 grams) for dredging
1 cup (240 milliliters) cold water
1/2 onion, cut into big dice
10 to 12 whole dried Thai chiles
1/2 tablespoon (8 grams) minced ginger root
1/2 tablespoon (5 grams) sliced garlic

Sauce:

1/2 cup (90 milliliters) oyster sauce
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) chili garlic sauce
1/2 cup (95 grams) sugar
6 tablespoons (90 milliliters) white vinegar
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) soy sauce
1 tablespoon (7 grams) cornstarch blended with 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) water
1 drop red food coloring (optional).
3 scallions, sliced on the predisposition.

Instructions.

For the chicken: Position your broccoli florets in a medium bowl and include 2 tablespoons water. Cover with cling wrap and microwave for 2 minutes, until tender. Drain pipes and set aside till ready to use.

Heat the oil in a 4-quart (3.8-liter) Dutch oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) using a frying thermometer. Wash the chicken in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Mix 1 1/2 cups (335 grams) of the tempura flour and 1 cup (240 milliliters) water into a thick batter. It should appear like thick pancake batter. Dig up the chicken cubes in the 1 cup (223 grams) of tempura flour and after that coat them in the batter. Fry them in two batches up until golden brown and crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the chicken on paper towels or a rack.

Heat a wok or large frying pan to high and include 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of oil. When you see the very first wisps of white smoke, stir in the fried chicken, onion, chiles, broccoli, and 1/3 of the ginger and garlic and prepare them for about 30 seconds.

For the sauce: While the chicken cooks, add the oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, chili garlic sauce, sugar, white vinegar, soy sauce, cornstarch slurry, red food coloring if using, 1/3 cup water and the remaining sliced ginger and garlic into a 1-quart (946-millileter) pan and bring the warm up to medium. Blend gently as it comes to a simmer. Allow it to simmer and keep whisking it for about 5 minutes, till the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and reserve it.

Stir in the sauce and enable it to coat the chicken and simmer. Cook it, folding all the active ingredients till they are well covered, about 2 minutes. Garnish with the scallions.
