Total time: 20 min
Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: Chinese
Ingredients: 1 egg white; 1 tbsp soy sauce; 1 tbsp mirin; 1 tsp cornstarch; 1/4 tsp salt; 8 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast; Water, for boiling; 1/4 yellow onion, sliced; 2 tbsp oyster sauce; Chopped chives, for garnish

1

In a medium bowl, combine the egg white, soy sauce, mirin, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk until smooth to create the velveting marinade.

2

Add the thinly sliced chicken to the marinade and stir until every piece is fully coated.

3

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.

4

Carefully add the marinated chicken to the boiling water. Stir gently to separate the pieces and cook for about 30-45 seconds, just until the outside of the chicken turns white.

5

Using a spider strainer, immediately remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a wire rack to drain completely.

6

Heat a wok over high heat. Add the sliced onions and stir-fry briefly, then add the drained, velveted chicken.

7

Add the oyster sauce and toss everything together, stir-frying until the chicken is cooked through and coated in the sauce.

8

Plate the chicken and garnish with optional chopped chives before serving.
