This stir-fry is not your average take-out: A generous amount of basil, fresh ginger and the sharp heat of Fresno pepper make it bright and fragrant. If you do not have a 12-inch skillet or wok, then sear your chicken thighs in two batches. Crowding the pan prevents the chicken from browning. This stir-fry comes together quickly, so stay close to your stove. Luckily, chicken thighs are quite forgiving, but you want your broccoli to be vibrant green and crisp-tender.<\/p>\n

• 2 inches (5cm) peeled and julienned fresh ginger<\/li>\n

  \n
  • Torn basil leaves<\/li>\n
  • Steamed brown rice<\/li>\n

    Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n

    In a medium bowl, whisk the low-sodium soy sauce with the oyster sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch and 1\/4 cup (60ml) water. Set aside.<\/p>\n

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt. In a 12-inch skillet or wok, heat the grapeseed oil until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook over high heat, stirring once, until browned, 2\u20134 minutes.<\/p>\n

    Add the broccoli, shallot, ginger and Fresno pepper. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is crisp-tender, 3\u20135 minutes. Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli and cook, stirring, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and fold in the basil.<\/p>\n

    Divide between four shallow bowls and garnish with torn basil leaves. Serve immediately with steamed brown rice and lime wedges.<\/p>\n
