Ingredients

8 oz Broccoli
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Seasoned Black Vinegar

How to make it
1
Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. In a bowl, combine the sherry vinegar, cornstarch, and half the soy sauce; stir until the cornstarch dissolves. Add the chicken, stir to coat, and marinate stirring occasionally at least 10 minutes.
2
Rinse and drain the rice. Combine with a big pinch of salt and 1 cup water in a small pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover, and cook undisturbed 13-15 minutes until absorbed. Fluff with a fork and cover to keep warm.
3
Rinse and dry all produce. Trim the broccoli stem and cut into small florets. Slice the scallions on an angle, keeping white bases and green tops separate. Stem the pepper and thinly slice crosswise (remove seeds for mild; keep for heat). Wash hands immediately after. In a bowl, combine the black vinegar, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, remaining soy sauce, 2 tablespoons water, and as much sliced pepper as you like.
4
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high. Add the broccoli; season with salt and pepper. Cook stirring occasionally 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Add the white scallion bases and 1/4 cup water (it may spatter). Loosely tent with foil and cook undisturbed 3-4 minutes until the broccoli softens and the water cooks off. Transfer to a bowl and cover with foil. Wipe out the pan.
5
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the same pan over medium-high. Add the marinated chicken (including liquid) in an even layer. Cook undisturbed 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Continue stirring occasionally 1-2 minutes until browned. Add the sauce (it may spatter). Cook stirring constantly 1-2 minutes until the chicken is coated and cooked through. USDA minimum: 165°F for chicken. Serve the rice topped with the broccoli and chicken (including any pan sauce). Finish with peanuts and the green scallion tops.
