Instructions
First make the sauce
In a small bowl whisk together water, Chinese wine vinegar, garlic ginger, brown sugar, low sodium light soy sauce, corn starch into lump free sauce. Keep it ready near the stove.
Stir-Fry
Heat up a wok or large skillet to smoking hot. Heat sesame oil in the pan.
Add chicken to hot oil and toss (or if your tossing skills are challenged like me just stir, stir and stir :D) for few seconds until chicken begins to turn pink.
Sprinkle salt and pepper powder over the chicken and stir again.
Add broccoli florets and cook stirring frequently, until tender, about 2-3 minutes. Don’t forget to stir.
Pour in the stir fry sauce and mix stir. Keep stirring frequently and once the sauce thickens in 2-3 minutes the dish is ready.
This stir fry broccoli and chicken goes well with brown rice. For low-carb options used cauliflower fried rice.
Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes
Chinese Wine : Substitute Chinese wine with Mirin, dry sherry or rice wine in place.Dry or Saucy : You can make this dish as dry or as saucy you want. My personal preference for saucy stir fry dish over a bed of rice. Adjust water quantity while making sauce.
