Ingredients

  • 500g chicken breast
  • 20g cornstarch
  • 3 light soy sauce
  • 2g black pepper
  • 1-2g (optional) salt
  • 5-10g olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2g edible baking soda
  • 1 egg white

Instructions

  1. Use fresh chicken breast. After washing, pat dry with paper towels (do not need to be bone-dry). Cut horizontally in half, or cut into quarters if you prefer smaller pieces.
  2. Place the cut chicken in a clean, dry container. Add all the seasonings and massage the chicken for about 5 minutes, making sure every surface is coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours.
  3. I usually marinate overnight and pan-fry in the morning. You can also marinate a larger batch, divide into small bags, and freeze. Thaw before cooking when needed!
