The chef emphasizes that the soul of the dish lies in its sauce, demanding a specific blend of Beijing Liubiju dry yellow soybean paste, Shandong sweet bean sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a generous 20 grams of white sugar to achieve a perfectly savory, sweet, and glossy coating.

Food Science & Tips#

In his stir-fried chicken tutorial, 老东北美食 shares brilliant, highly technical kitchen tips for tenderizing meat and perfectly emulsifying sauces. The chef demonstrates using a whole egg white and starch to thoroughly hydrate the chicken pieces, creating a smooth barrier that keeps the meat tender and prevents sticking when it is initially flash-fried in 130°C soybean oil. He also explains that making diagonal cuts into the chicken slices—scoring them to exactly half the depth of the meat—allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the chicken rather than just sitting on the surface. Finally, there is a fantastic visual cue for the sauce: you must cook the paste mixture in the wok until it visually “bubbles like fish eyes” before adding the chicken back in, ensuring the sauce has reached the ideal viscosity to beautifully cling to the meat without the need for additional cornstarch slurries.
