Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chicken beef or pork, cut into ½ thick strips
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
Velveting in Water
- water
- 1 tablespoon oil
Velveting in Oil
- canola or peanut oil
Instructions
- Wash chicken and drain well.
- In a bowl, combine egg white, Chinese wine, oil, cornstarch and salt. Whisk together until smooth and frothy. Add chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. In a colander, drain chicken.
Velveting in Water
- In a pot over high heat, combine about 2-inch deep of water and 1 tablespoon of oil. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and immediately add chicken, stirring to disperse. Bring water back to a gentle simmer and once it's barely bubbling, continue to cook chicken for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally. With a slotted spoon, remove chicken from pot and drain well.
Velveting in Oil
- In a pot over medium heat, heat about 3-inch deep of oil (meat should be fully submerged in oil). Add meat and cook, stirring as needed, for about 3 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned. With a slotted spoon, remove chicken from pot and drain well.
