Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Chicken breast 350g
  • Egg white 1
  • Potato starch 2 tbsp
  • Egg yolk 1
  • Parsley

Seasonings

  • Salt 1 pinch and a little more
  • [A] Mayonnaise 2.5 tbsp
  • [A] Ketchup 0.5 tbsp
  • [A] Soy sauce 0.5 tsp
  • [A] Lemon juice 0.5 tsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tsp

Steps

  1. Take the chicken breast out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
  2. In a bowl, combine 2.5 tbsp mayonnaise, 0.5 tbsp ketchup, 0.5 tsp soy sauce, 0.5 tsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp sugar. Mix well to create the sauce.
  3. In a separate bowl, add 1 egg white and a pinch and a little more salt. Mix thoroughly by cutting through the egg white. Refrigerate the egg yolk for later use.
  4. Remove the skin from the chicken breast and use a knife to remove any remaining membrane.
  5. Identify the grain of the chicken breast, divide it into two pieces along the grain, and slice thinly against the grain into 2cm wide pieces. [This is the key!] To ensure tender chicken, it's crucial to cut against the grain.
  6. Add the cut chicken breast to the bowl with the egg white marinade and mix lightly.
  7. Lightly coat a frying pan with vegetable oil.
  8. Measure out 2 tbsp potato starch and have it ready.
  9. Thoroughly rub the chicken breast with the egg white, ensuring it's evenly coated. [This is the key!] Egg whites have the property of trapping moisture, which helps to make the chicken juicy.
  10. Add the potato starch and mix well until it becomes thick and coats the chicken with the egg white. [This is the key!] Adding potato starch prevents the egg white from peeling off during cooking and helps to seal in moisture twice.
  11. Arrange the marinated chicken breast in the oiled frying pan without overlapping.
  12. Heat the frying pan over low heat. [This is the key!] High heat can make the surface dry out, so cook gently over low heat.
  13. Once the frying pan is warm and you hear a sizzling sound, use chopsticks to separate the chicken pieces so they don't stick together.
  14. Cook gently for 2 minutes.
  15. Flip the chicken pieces and cook for another 2 minutes until cooked through.
  16. Turn off the heat.
  17. Drain the oil from the cooked chicken pieces, starting with the smaller ones, and add them to the bowl with the prepared sauce.
  18. Mix the chicken and sauce thoroughly while hot, ensuring the sauce thickens and coats the chicken evenly. [This is the key!] Mixing while hot helps the sauce thicken and adhere well to the chicken.
  19. Transfer to a serving dish.
  20. Lightly break the reserved egg yolk and drizzle it over the top. [This is the key!] Adding the egg yolk at the end makes the overall sauce mellow and adds a rich accent.
  21. Sprinkle with parsley and serve. Enjoy!
