Stir-Fried Velvet Chicken With Snap Peas And Lemon-Ginger Sauce Recipe

Recipe By Serious Eats

A classic chinese-american dish of chicken and vegetables coated in a mild gingery, lemony sauce. Marinating the chicken in a mixture of cornstarch and egg whites gives it a silky, smooth, moist texture. For best results, use a wok set in an outdoor coal-fired grill for extra high heat cooking.
