1

Set the broccoli in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water and cover. Cook until tender yet still firm, about 5 minutes.
2

Warm the oil in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté the chicken, green onions, and garlic until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
3

Stir the hoisin sauce, chile paste, and soy sauce into the skillet; season with ginger, red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken stock and let it simmer for about 2 minutes. Fold in the steamed broccoli until it is coated with the sauce mixture.
