CHINESE VELVET CHICKEN

Chinese Velvet Chicken image

Souffléed chicken served with sugar snap peas & mushrooms over rice. I first found this recipe in 1985 in an old used cookbook (I think it was called Mrs. Wong's Chinese Cookbook). This recipe has been one of the most popular meals for my children and now my grandchildren. They are all grown up now, but they still call and ask for it.

First, slice your chicken into 1 ½ to 2 inch pieces, about ¼ inch thick. Remember to slice across the grain, especially if using chicken breast.

Add the cornstarch and vegetable oil and mix again until everything’s incorporated and the chicken is uniformly coated. For the best results, let the chicken sit for 15 to 20 minutes to marinate.

Bring 1 quart of water to a boil in a medium pot, and add 1 tbsp oil to "grease the liquid". Lower the heat to maintain a very gentle simmer.
Velveting in oil makes the coating lustrous and prevents lumping. It also eliminates the mealiness of cornstarch. Make sure the wok or skillet is very hot before the oil goes in, so that the coated chicken does not stick to the pan. However, the oil should not be hot, or it will toughen the chicken.
