An epicormic sprout is a shoot that arises from latent or adventitious buds. Also known as a water sprout, they form on stems and branches, and suckers produced from the base of trees.
A more traditional broccoli stir fry recipe would use soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil to create a sauce: 1 Tablespoon soy sauce + 1 Tablespoon oyster sauce + 1 teaspoon sesame oil + Â½ teaspoon sugar + 2 teaspoon water + 1 teaspoon cornstarch.
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil over high heat. Add broccoli and saute for 2-3 minutes. Transfer broccoli to a plate. Reduce heat to medium-high and add the remaining tbsp of oil. Add the marinated chicken and half of the sauce mixture and saute until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
