Preparation
Step 1
1.Whisk egg white, 1 Tbsp rice wine and 1 Tbsp cornstarch. Toss with protein; cover and refrigerate, 1 hour.
2.Combine your sauce ingredients in a bowl.
3.Drain the excess marinade from the protein. Place your sauce, vegetables and protein near stove.
4.Heat 1/4 inch peanut or vegetable oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add the protein; slowly stir until almost opaque, 30 seconds to 1 minute (for tofu, brown on both sides-do not stir). Transfer to a plate; discard the oil and wipe out the pan.
5.Heat the pan over high heat, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 2 Tbsp oil, garlic, ginger, scallions, salt & sugar, stir-fry about 30 seconds. Add the vegetables, starting with the ones that take the longest to cook; stir-fry until crisp-tender.
6.Add the protein and sauce and stir until the sauce is thick and the vegetables and protein are cooked through, about 3 minutes. Thin with chicken broth, if needed. Garnish as desired.
