Cooking Process
In a bowl, combine sliced chicken, soy sauce, vegetable oil, and garlic powder. Stir to blend and set aside.
Add chicken broth and broccoli to Wok. Set temperature to 325°F/162.7°C and cook broccoli until vibrant green (about 5 minutes), stirring about every minute. Push broccoli up side of Wok or remove.
Increase heat to 375°F/190.5°C. Add chicken mixture and stir-fry until chicken is opaque (about 3 minutes). Push up side of the Wok. Add mushrooms and stir-fry for 1 minute, push up side. Add bamboo shoots and stir-fry for 1 minute. Return broccoli to Wok if removed and mix all ingredients, stirring well.
