  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or rice wine or sherry)
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

For the Stir-Fry Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

For the Stir-Fry:

Instructions

  • Marinate Chicken: Combine chicken, cornstarch, baking soda, Shaoxing wine, and soy sauce in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Make Sauce: Whisk together all stir-fry sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
