Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients

Pound the chicken with the back of a knife and chop it into fava bean-sized cubes. Place it in a bowl, add an appropriate amount of Shaoxing wine, MSG, fine salt, egg white, and cornstarch, mix well to coat, and set aside. Cut the green pepper into fava bean-sized cubes.

Slip-Fry the Chicken Cubes

Heat oil in a wok to about 150–180°C (medium heat). Add the chicken cubes and stir to separate. When the chicken turns white, remove and drain the oil. Set aside.

Combine and Thicken

Add oil to the wok. When hot, add the green peppers and briefly stir-fry. Add the chicken cubes, then add an appropriate amount of fine salt, MSG, and chicken broth. Thicken with wet starch, stir-fry a few times, and serve.
