How to Make Chicken With Five Shreds
- **Prepare the Sauce:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons chili paste, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1/2 cup chicken broth.
- **Marinate the Chicken:** In a separate bowl, combine 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, shredded, with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon egg white. Gently toss to coat. Add 1 tablespoon cornstarch and mix lightly.
- **Stir-fry the Chicken:** Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until no longer pink and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- **Stir-fry Aromatics and Vegetables:** Wipe the wok clean with a paper towel. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in the wok. Add 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 inch ginger (minced), and 2 scallions (chopped) and stir-fry for 1 minute.
- **Add Remaining Vegetables:** Add 1 cup carrots (sliced), 1 cup bell peppers (sliced), 1/2 cup bamboo shoots (sliced), and 1/2 cup mushrooms (sliced). Stir-fry for 1 minute until slightly softened.
- **Stir-fry Bean Curd:** Remove vegetables and set aside. Add 2 teaspoons oil to the wok. Add 1/2 cup bean curd (firm, cubed) and stir-fry gently for 1 minute.
- **Combine and Simmer:** Return the vegetables to the wok. Add the cooked chicken. Stir-fry for 3 minutes. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the chicken and vegetables.
- **Serve:** Serve hot over steamed rice. Garnish with chopped scallions, if desired.
