‘Velveting’ beef (or chicken)

[Mike Nolan]

Interesting technique from Chinese cooking using baking soda (or possibly cornstarch) to soften meat before cooking it, I will have to play with it.

I've used this method before as well. Cornstarch is what I used when I made Orange Chicken or Beef & Broccoli. The meat is tender and crispy. Definitely works. I will use it for stir fry the next time I make it.
