Lunch Special Chicken Or Tofu With Broccoli And Brown Sauce

• 1 head broccoli, cut into florets and stem sliced
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon chili oil (optional)
• 6 cloves raw garlic, minced
• 6 cloves roasted garlic (optional, but adds deliciousness)
• 1/4 cups soy sauce
• 11/2 vegetable or chicken broth
• 1/4 cups mirin
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 pound chicken or tofu, sliced or cubed

1. Blanch the broccoli (cook in boiling water for a few minutes). Drain and run under cold water so it stays bright green. Set aside.
2. Heat the sesame oil and chili oil (if using) in a large pan or wok. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and very lightly browned (don't burn).
3. Add the soy sauce, broth, mirin, honey, and fish sauce and stir to combine. Allow to boil and cook down, 7 minutes or so.
4. Mix a small amount of the sauce with the corn starch to make a slurry, then stir into the sauce.
5. Add the chicken or tofu and cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through. Add in the broccoli and stir to combine. Serve with brown rice.
