DON’T Use Baking Soda for Velveting! How to Make Chicken Tender & Juicy for Stir Fries

Have you ever wondered about the secret behind the tender and juicy chicken in Chinese restaurant stir-fries? It all comes down to a technique called velveting. I'll guide you through the process of velveting chicken and then demonstrate three cooking methods: boiling, sautéing in a wok, and frying in oil. I'll also highlight the differences between these methods and when to choose each for the best results.

Chicken Marinade for Velveting:
10 oz chicken breast
2 tsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water
¼ tsp salt
2 tsp oil

For Chicken Mushroom Stir Fry:
8 oz mushrooms and peppers
Ginger 1 tsp, finely minced
Garlic 1 clove (1 tsp), finely minced

Sauce:
Soy sauce 2 tbsp
Oyster sauce 2 tbsp
Water 2 tbsp
Corn starch 2 tsp
Sesame oil 2 tsp
Sugar ½ tsp
White pepper ½ tsp

INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix chicken with marinade ingredients. Cook chicken until 80% done. Stir fry vegetables, add ginger and garlic, then throw chicken back in. Mix sauce ingredients together and add to wok. Stir well.
