  • @RumorHazi
    @RumorHazi 9 місяців тому +102

    I love the recipe! I’ve found that you can add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the chicken while it sits and it tenderizes it. I think they call it velveting. This one is a winner Jack!

    • @ChefJackOvens
      @ChefJackOvens  9 місяців тому +36

      I was very close to velveting this but decided against it for this recipe. The chicken is extremely tender

    • @roygato3797
      @roygato3797 9 місяців тому +13

      Great recipe, as usual. Velveting chicken usually involves about a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed in with the seasoning for the amounts used here. In Chinese cuisine, baking soda is normally used in the marinade when stir frying tougher cuts of beef or sometimes pork but normally not chicken because it can give it a very strange texture. For thighs, like the video demonstrates, you really don't need to velvet it in any way, but you can use chicken breasts and do that and they will come out great.

    • @RumorHazi
      @RumorHazi 9 місяців тому +5

      @@roygato3797 Ok, that makes sense. I knew I had seen it used to tenderize stuff. I love to use thighs cause they are so much more tender and flavorful. Thanks for the tip!!

    • @egroom53

      Actually baking soda doesn’t tenderize meat. It makes it juicier. Acidic liquids tenderize meats. Also corn starch works well.

    Actually worked as shown.
    Simple and absolutely delicious
    2/4/2014. I’ve Had a wok and a big burner for about 6 months. Self taught. Slowly getting better. Follow lots of UA-cam videos.
    Now. I gotta say- simply put- Kristin actually said “ best one ever”. That’s a big deal.
    So simple and easy. Only a few ingredients-
    Only deduct: tell me in the beginning to get the noodles on- don’t mention an ingredient 75% through the video that takes 20 minutes just to be ready-
    It took about an hour but it was worth it.

    It tasted great. However, I followed the recipe and video step by step twice and the sauce is extremely watery, so when I add it to the mix, it doesn't gain colour and the sticky texture. Maybe it's a problem with the ingredients. I try reducing it but then it barely covered the mix. No idea where it went wrong 🧐
