Now heat the wok until smoking-hot. Add the chicken, let cook undisturbed until the chicken begins to sear, about 30 seconds. Then stir-fry for about 2 minutes until the chicken is browned but not cooked through, it will cook further together with the broccoli. Add garlic and ginger, stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add broccoli and cook for 3 minutes. The broccoli should be tender-crisp. Now pour the sauce and stir-fry for 2 minutes more, until sauce thickens and coats the chicken evenly. Stir in the peanuts and serve with rice or noodles. Sprinkle with chopped scallions and add some chili sauce to your own taste. Enjoy!
