Instructions
Start by marinating the chicken. Mix 3 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon soy sauce with the chicken chunks, working it with your hands until the chicken has absorbed all of the liquid. Adding water and soy sauce to the chicken (especially true if using chicken breast) results in a moist and tender chicken experience!
Once the chicken has absorbed the liquid, mix 2 teaspoons of cornstarch into the chicken until well combined and set aside.
Mix the sauce ingredients by combining the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, dark brown sugar, chicken stock or water, sesame oil and white pepper and set aside.
Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan on high heat until just smoking, and spread the chicken evenly. Let the chicken sear on one side for 1 minute. Use a metal wok spatula (you can also use a rubber spatula if you can’t use metal utensils on your pan) to turn the chicken and sear another minute. Turn off the heat and move the seared chicken to a plate. Set aside.

Made this for dinner last night - I doubled the recipe to feed a hungry (not necessarily bigger) crowd. I had hoped for some leftovers - but alas, there were none left - just a bit of rice. My husband loved it - so that means it will be on the rotation. Thanks again!
This chicken is so delicious, eaten over noodles or over rice, even just eating it alone to cut the carbs it's so delicious. I love all your recipes, and make everything when I have time, it's all delicious
This recipe was so delicious and tastes just like I remember it. I didn't have dark soy sauce on hand and replaced it with an extra bit of regular. The sauce came out a little lighter brown, but it didn't really matter because the taste was spot on. I have a lot of success with your recipes and thanks for all the work you guys do!
Whole family really enjoyed this and easy to make.
Great recipe. Thanks
This was very good. A new favorite to add to my Chinese collection. I made per the recipe aside from adding water chestnuts and roasted cashews as I love that addition. So tasty.
I added bird's eye chili to add a little kick... Delicious! Added to my rotation.
Thank you!
