soy sauce
🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce
Lower sodium content for a healthier option.
vegetables
🥗Healthier: leafy greens
💰Cheaper: frozen mixed vegetables
Leafy greens are nutrient-dense; frozen vegetables are often cheaper.
protein
🥗Healthier: tofu
💰Cheaper: chicken thighs
Tofu is a plant-based protein; chicken thighs are more budget-friendly than breasts.
Introduce stir frying and its principles: balance, heat, movement, and timing.
Explain the importance of using a wok for stir frying.
Discuss the concept of velveting chicken for texture.
Combine thinly sliced chicken breast with egg white, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
Massage the mixture to create a smooth texture and let it marinate for 30 minutes.
Prepare a basic brown sauce with light soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, ketchup, sugar, MSG, cornstarch, toasted sesame oil, and grated garlic.
Whisk the brown sauce ingredients together until combined.
Par-cook broccoli in boiling water until just tender, testing by pinching the stem.
Blanch the marinated chicken in the same water for 30 to 45 seconds to set the protein.
Preheat the wok over high heat until it starts smoking slightly.
Add neutral oil to the wok and then quickly add the chicken and broccoli, stir frying for a minute.
Add the prepared brown sauce around the rim of the wok to allow it to reduce and caramelize.
