Ingredients

  • 3 cups stock
  • 3 cloves garlic ((finely minced or grated))
  • 3/4 teaspoon ginger ((grated))
  • 1 teaspoon scallion ((white part only, minced))
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt ((to taste))
  • 3/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon MSG ((totally optional!))
  • 8 ounces meat of your choice ((225g, pork, chicken, or beef; thinly sliced ¼ inch thick))
  • 3 cups mixed vegetables
  • 1/2 cup firm tofu ((cubed, optional))
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup prepared Chinese white sauce ((depending upon how much sauce you like))
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

  1. 1

    Pour chicken, pork or vegetable stock into a resealable glass jar. It’s best to use home-made stock but you can use store-bought as well. If you use store-bought prepared stock, try to use a pure stock without any other flavorings added (herbs, spices, etc.), as usually store-bought stocks are usually made for western cooking.

  2. 2

    Take your sliced meat, and velvet it using our method for velveting beef, velveting chicken, or velveting pork.
