  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, black pepper, broth, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil and sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat.
  3. Add the sliced chicken and stir-fry until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. For a vegetarian version, just leave out the chicken.

  9. Serve hot, and enjoy the zing-a-ling flavours!
