- Have you ever wondered about the secret behind the tender and juicy chicken in Chinese restaurant stir-fries? It all comes down to a technique called velveting. I'll guide you through the process of velveting chicken and then demonstrate three cooking methods: boiling, sautéing in a wok, and frying in oil. I'll also highlight the differences between these methods and when to choose each for the best results.
Chicken Marinade for Velveting:
10 oz chicken breast
2 tsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water
¼ tsp salt
2 tsp oil
For Chicken Mushroom Stir Fry:
8 oz mushrooms and peppers
Ginger 1 tsp, finely minced
Garlic 1 clove (1 tsp), finely minced
Sauce:
Soy sauce 2 tbsp
Oyster sauce 2 tbsp
Water 2 tbsp
Corn starch 2 tsp
Sesame oil 2 tsp
Sugar ½ tsp
White pepper ½ tsp
INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix chicken with marinade ingredients. Cook chicken until 80% done. Stir fry vegetables, add ginger and garlic, then throw chicken back in. Mix sauce ingredients together and add to wok. Stir well.

This is an awesome video. I used the technique for Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo and our guests were amazed at how tender chicken turned out. Thanks so much!

Greetings from Paul Liverpool England
Hello Paul! 😊
Informative! I’ll use the boiling method to reduce consumption of oil and oxidative effects from oil-frying
The problem is you get oxidated by breathing.
I have been velveting chicken with baking soda for 20 years. Its fast and easy and my stir fries have melt-in-your-mouth tender, flavorful chicken. If it works, don't fix it.
Can you explain in short how to do it?
Should i just add water and baking soda to the chicken?
@naveendotcom for Chinese stir fry, it's usually also done with corn starch and other flavorings like Shaoxing wine, salt, white pepper, chicken powder, etc. It only needs around 15 minutes to soak, too. 1 hour tops for beef, not sure what the max time is with chicken. I've heard the baking soda can break down the proteins too much if left too long.
@@turtlepowersf 🙏🏻
@@turtlepowersf baking soda then wash it out after half hour then you can add a marinade and stir fry avoids breast at all times
@@sniper10666thanks for your tip. But do you mean it doesn’t work with chicken breast?. And does it work with beef too?
Made this today and it literally taste like it was from an Asian restaurant
Can I season with powder seasoning iafter the tenderized process before boiling, sautés or frying?
Yes 😊
❤❤❤
Great video. Can arrowroot be used instead of cornstarch?
Yes 😊
does adding more corn starch (like 2x normal amount) will result a more tenderized chicken with same amount of marination time? So far I used baking soda method for marination, so then basically have to wash it to remove aftertaste, basically doubling the amount of work time.
Doubling the cornstarch won’t make it more tender. It will make the chicken more sticky when you saute it (more crispy if you fry it). I don’t use baking soda in chicken because I feel like the minor difference in texture doesn’t not justify for the extra time/effort and aftertaste. If you try this, please let me know how it turns out. 😊

@@eliasfamilykitchen4588 thank you for your reply. I'll keep that in mind.
Can I use the velveting process using cornstarch with whole chicken breasts that I am going to marinate and then grill?
I wouldn’t recommend this for whole chicken breasts. This works best on smaller pieces of meat.
Do you rinse the chicken before you boil it?
No need to rinse it before boiling 😊
Does this work with beef and pork too?
Please use this method for beef and pork: The RIGHT way to tenderize beef with baking soda
ruclips.net/video/lgQcJURiN6M/видео.html. 😊
Can you omit the corn starch?
Don’t omit cornstarch for this. 😊
All three types of cooking was done after marination with salt, water, oil and cornstarch?
Please clarify
Yes
I’ll love you long time ❤️
For keto lovers a version without corn starch would be nice. Or can you get a good result without it?
Corn starch is required to get a silky smooth velvety texture. 😊
Still would have been better with bicarb, just saying, the stuff works, it’s a fact
I use sodium bicarbonate to tenderize beef. 😊 ruclips.net/video/lgQcJURiN6M/видео.htmlsi=8graX7TOsDJHmPR_
I just tried to a velvet chicken with baking soda… I screwed up completely, it was nasty lol.
Sorry to hear that. If you try this, let me know how it turns out. 😊
A small amount is used to tenderize beef. No need to tenderize chicken.
Not using the velveting technique is ok.. using cornstarch as an alternative when cooking will make it not only soft but script depending how you cook.
Was the boiled chicken velveted first.
Sorry. . .but what do you mean by script?
I hope you stop using seed oils
Your face is bigger than your body.
Baking soda for red meat, not chicken. Get your facts straight!
What kind of oil as you using???
Peanut oil
❤❤❤
