n this video, I’ll show you a Chinese water-velveting method for chicken breast. We start with one batch of sliced chicken, build a light base marinade, add ice water in batches, coat it with cornstarch, then gently cook it in hot water before turning it into two dishes: oyster sauce chicken breast and a cold chicken salad.

This method is especially useful for home cooking because the heat is gentle, the timing window is wider, and the chicken is much less likely to turn dry and rubbery.
