Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2-3 servings)

  • Broccoli 150g
  • Chicken Breast 200g
  • Potato Starch 3 tbsp

Seasonings

  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
  • [A] Chicken Bouillon Powder 1 tsp
  • [A] Grated Garlic 1 tsp
  • [A] Salt a pinch
  • [A] Pepper a pinch
  • Vegetable Oil for cooking

Steps

  1. Separate broccoli into florets and stems. Trim off any dirty parts of the stems.
  2. Cut the broccoli stems into 3-5mm cubes.
  3. Place the cut stems in a heatproof container, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 1 minute at 600W.
  4. Place the broccoli florets on top of the stems and microwave for another 1.5 minutes. [This is the key!] Heating the stems and florets separately ensures even cooking for a delicious result.
  5. Drain the microwaved broccoli in a colander.
  6. Butterfly the chicken breast and cut it into 3-5mm cubes.
  7. Place the cubed chicken breast in a bowl. Add 2 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine), 1 tsp Chicken Bouillon Powder, 1 tsp Grated Garlic, a pinch of Salt, a pinch of Pepper, and 3 tbsp Potato Starch. Mix and coat the chicken. [This is the key!] The potato starch coating will keep the chicken tender and moist even after cooking.
  8. Squeeze the water out of the microwaved broccoli florets and finely chop them.
  9. Squeeze the water out of the broccoli stems, add them to the bowl with the chicken, and mix everything evenly.
  10. Heat an adequate amount of Vegetable Oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  11. Scoop the mixture with a spoon, place it in the frying pan, and shape it into round patties. Gently press down to flatten into discs.
  12. Once the bottoms are browned, flip them over.
  13. Cover with a lid and steam-fry over low to medium heat for 2 minutes.
  14. Once steamed and browned, transfer to a plate. Enjoy!
