Instructions
- Slice the chicken into thin strips and place in a not metallic bowl.
- Sprinkle over the baking soda and leave for 15 minutes.
Whilst the chicken is marinating:
- Trim the snow peas, peel and slice the garlic and thinly slice the sting onion and set them all to one side.
- Rinse the chicken really well to remove any traces of baking soda and then pat dry with some kitchen paper. (This can be down up to 4 hours ahead of time)
- In a small bowl mix the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
- Pour the oil into a large skillet or fry pan over a high heat and let it get hot.
- Add the chicken and cook for 3 minutes.
- Add in the snow peas and chopped green onions and cook for 2 minutes until softened.
- Turn the heat down to medium, then add in the garlic, give the sauce a stir and pour it over the meat.
- Cook for a minute or so until the sauce has thickened and has coated the meat and veg.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Baking soda is also known as bicarb of soda, bicarbonate of soda and sodium bicarbonate. Don't get it muddled with baking powder, that won't tenderise you meat.
- Chinese Cooking Wine is sometimes called Chinese Cooking Rice Wine, Shaohsing Rice Cooking Wine, Shaoxing wine or Shaoxing Cooking Wine.
