Science behind Velveting

Science behind Velveting 

• Cut chicken breast into 1/3 and each thinly slice 
• add in a bowl,
• add water to slightly submerge cut up chicken,
• add some salt and stir to loose up chicken and dissolve salt 

Alternatively, you can brine the chicken with salt or baking soda or both, which breaks down the protein in the meat and tenderize it. 

Then one could velvet the meat, cornstarch and egg white is what's typically used but he's not using egg whites probably because of the cost of the egg whites, I'm guessing,  It's a commercial application. The corn starch coats the outside of the chicken and doesn't allow it to release the moisture i.e. contains the moisture better the egg white adds to that velvety texture and mouthfeel. 

And there you have it, there it is, and there you go.  

Sweet & Sour Sauce recipe

 Chef Stephvnietea's Easy Sweet & Sour Sauce recipe

Chef Stephvnietea's Sweet and Sour Sauce recipe is a simple yet flavorful sauce that is easy to make at home. 

Ingredients

• Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup white distilled vinegar
  • 1/4 cup apricot or peach preserves (optional, for a sweeter taste)
  • 2 1/2 tbsp sugar (can be adjusted to taste)
  • 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
• Slurry:
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water 

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine water, vinegar, apricot preserves (if using), soy sauce, and sugar.
2. Mix well and turn on the heat, bringing the sauce to a boil.
3. Ensure the sugar is completely dissolved, then bring the sauce down to a simmer.
4. In a separate small bowl, combine cornstarch and water for the slurry, mixing well to avoid clumps.
5. Pour the slurry into the simmering saucepan and stir immediately to thicken the sauce.
6. Serve cool or warm, or store in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge. 

Note: This recipe can be adapted to your preference. If you prefer a less sweet sauce, you can reduce the amount of preserves or sugar. You can also experiment with other types of vinegar like rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar. To achieve a deeper red color, a few drops of food coloring can be added.
