Velveteen Chicken (for Stir Fry)

Chinese restaurants use this trick to velvetize chicken for their dishes...

Ingredients: 

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken meat, cut into thin strips 
2 Tsp Rice Vinegar 
1 egg 
1 Tbs cornstarch 
1 teaspoon salt 
2 Tbs Oil  


Preparation: 

Whisk the egg white, cornstarch, vinegar, salt and oil in a medium bowl until smooth. 
Add the sliced chicken and mix until well coated. 
Refrigerate (marinate) 30 minutes or more

To cook:

slowly drop loosened chicken strips into boiling water
bring back to a boil, stir and cook for 1 minute
Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon or into a colander to fully drain

or you can drop loosened chicken directly into boiling soup , return to boiling, and cook for a minute more
