Steaming: Steam chicken, breast-side up, for 25-30 minutes. At the same time, steam ham for 20 minutes. Chicken should still be firm but very moist when removed from steamer.

Remove legs, thighs, and wings; chop in pieces. Turn carcass, skin down; cleave in half parallel to breast; turn and chop in pieces. Carefully remove and discard bones.

Heat peanut oil in wok until it begins to smoke; stir-fry broccoli until bright but still crisp. Sprinkle with fish sauce, toss briefly, then remove to serving platter with meat. Glazing Sauce: Heat stock and crushed rock sugar in sauce pan; stir while bringing to boil. Dribble in cornstarch paste to make a light sauce. Stir in cooked oil. Pour over meat. Serve.
