Prepare 4 cloves of garlic by finely mincing them.

Prepare 4 slices of ginger.

Cut 2 small broccoli crowns into small pieces.

Divide 1 skinless chicken breast into 2 to 3 pieces and slice them.

Marinate the chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, a little bit of baking soda, and white pepper powder.

Mix the seasoning with the chicken, then add some cornstarch and water, mixing everything together.

Lastly, add some oil to the chicken mixture and mix it in.

Preheat a pan over medium-high heat and add some oil.

Once the pan is hot, add the ginger slices to the hot oil and let them sizzle to extract flavor.

Add the broccoli to the pan and toss for about 10 seconds.

Add a little bit of sugar and salt to the broccoli.

Once the sugar and salt dissolve, add some rice wine directly to the hot surface of the pan and stir the broccoli around.

Once the rice wine cooks away, add some water and cover the pan with a lid for 30 seconds.

After 30 seconds, remove the broccoli from the pan.

Add a little more oil back to the hot pan.

Add the marinated chicken to the pan, spreading it out to let it pan-fry until the bottom is golden.

Once the bottom is golden, add the minced garlic and start stir-frying the chicken.

Add a little more rice wine to the chicken and stir-fry until the wine cooks away.

Add the prepared seasoning sauce to the chicken and stir-fry until the color is even.

Add some water to the pan; the water will quickly thicken into a sauce due to the cornstarch.

Turn off the heat and add the broccoli back to the pan, tossing quickly with the chicken.
