Instructions

Prepare the ingredients

Shred the chicken and place it in a bowl. Add the egg white and starch, then mix until the chicken is evenly coated. Blanch the peas briefly.

Slip the chicken through oil

Heat oil in a wok. When the oil is at about 30–40% hot, add the chicken shreds. Separate them as they set, then pour everything out into a strainer.

Braise and finish

In the wok, add the cooking wine, broth, salt, sugar, chicken, peas, and MSG. Once it comes to a boil, skim off any foam, thicken with the water starch slurry, and transfer to a serving bowl.
