Ingredients
  

  • For the marinated chicken:
  • 20 ounces skinless boneless chicken breast cut into ¼ inch slices
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • For the stir fry sauce:
  • ¾ cup water
  • 2½ tablespoons regular soy sauce
  • 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon dark soy sauce (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine chicken slices with water, Shaoxing rice wine, salt, baking soda, cornstarch, and oil. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together water, soy sauce, sugar, chicken bouillon, dark soy sauce, cornstarch, and toasted sesame oil to prepare the stir fry sauce.
  3. Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil.
  4. Add the marinated chicken to the pan and stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Add your choice of mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas) to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Pour the stir fry sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
  7. Remove from heat and serve immediately with egg fried rice or shrimp lo mein to complete your meal.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh vegetables and cook over high heat for a crisp texture. Adjust the sweetness of the sauce according to your preference. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
