Cooking Tips

I like to cut them very small, by the way.

Cutting the broccoli small will actually add more flavors.

Of course, you can use chicken breast, but you know chicken thighs is nice and juicy and that’s what we want.

I don’t like having, you know, I have nails. I don’t like such a meat with my bare hands, especially if I have nails, you know, fake nails and stuff, so just cut them into small pieces or however, whatever size you like.

It’s going to be a lot of seasoning, but as we cooking this, we might lose some of that seasoning. That’s why I always go for a little bit more than usual.

What’s good about the skillet, it’s non-stick, so you don’t have to use that much oil.

Now, we don’t need that much oil, keep in mind there’s some leftover fat on the chicken that will produce that oil we need to keep it nice and juicy.

I do like a nice crust on the chicken and the inside will be nice and juicy.

I like it when it has that nice golden color.

It’s okay if there’s a little bit of water in there.

We do want this to cook and steam.

This is the way I make my broccoli. Every single time.

You can add a pinch of water in there if you want the process a little bit faster.

I don’t like soggy. How do I say this, like over-cooked broccoli?

I like a little crunch on the outside. That’s why I didn’t add it in water.

We don’t want the seasoning to burn.

If you don’t have that, you can use any all-purpose seasoning.

I like to add the seasoning before I add the soy sauce.

When I’m adding it to my pan, I like to add it on the side.

Give it a mix, so I don’t burn it.

If you add it right in the middle, it’s going to just evaporate, and you’re not gonna really taste the flavor on the broccoli.
