Critical Success Points

  • Separating onion layers before cooking
  • Marinating the chicken with baking soda for tenderness
  • Stirring the cornstarch slurry before adding to prevent clumping
  • Searing the chicken until lightly golden before adding sauces

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – use a splatter guard if needed.
  • Handle the wok with oven mitts; the handle gets very hot.
