Analyzing cooking steps...
The process of adding water and massaging the chicken is a technique called 'velveting,' which is key to its tender texture.
The cornflour and egg white create a protective coating that locks in moisture during cooking.
Sealing the marinade with oil helps prevent the chicken pieces from sticking together in the pan.
This marination method works well for any type of stir-fry; you can customize the vegetables and sauce to your liking.
