Tips

  • Cut chicken breast against the grain into about 1/4 inch slices to make it extra tender.
  • Salt helps to break down protein by targeting muscle fibers and collagen.
  • White pepper and rice wine help to reduce the gamey taste of chicken.
  • Cornstarch seals the juice of the chicken inside, making it extra tender.
  • Oil helps prevent chicken from sticking to each other.
