Cut broccoli into florets and steam them until just barely fork tender

Dump broccoli into bowl and shock with cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.

Cut chicken thighs into large chunks (just over 1")

Season the chicken with salt and coat with cornstarch until the pieces are no longer wet to the touch

Get a generous puddle of oil in your pan and drop your chicken in.

Stir fry chicken. As it cooks, mince your garlic and ginger and shred 2-3 tbsp of orange zest off

Flip chicken, if you haven't already, and add garlic and ginger. Let cook for 1 min

Push chicken to one side and deglaze pan using your soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and orange juice to taste

Once sauce is well mixed it will probably won't be coating anything so start dropping your broccoli into pan without letting it drip for too long

At this point, add red pepper flakes if you choose to do so

If the sauce is too liquid-y now, simply sprinkle some cornstarch in and stir aggressively until fully mixed

Turn off the heat, add the orange zest, and let sit without stirring the zest in while you clean up and allow food to cool down

When your space is clean, and your food has cooled down, the sauce should have thickened up some more and come down to an edible temperature. At this point you may now stir one final time until the orange zest is evenly distributed
