Preparation process
-
Cut the chicken into small strips, place in a bowl, and add all the marinade ingredients. This technique, where baking soda and/or cornstarch are added to the chicken, is called "velveting," and it makes the chicken super tender. Let it sit for about 15 minutes at room temperature.
-
In another bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
-
Heat oil in a wok or pan, add the sliced leek, and stir-fry for a few minutes.
-
Add the chicken and stir-fry until it turns golden brown and cooked through (depending on the size of the pieces and the cut of meat, usually about 5 minutes).
-
Pour the sauce over everything and simmer for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
-
Sprinkle with roasted peanuts and serve with rice.
