Ingredients

• 1 large egg white
• 1 tablespoon Chinese rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 pound skinless , boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 8 cups water
• 1 tablespoon peanut oil

Instructions

1. 1 Whisk together egg white, vinegar, cornstarch, and salt in a large bowl until smooth. Add sliced chicken; mix to coat thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2. 2 Bring water and oil to a boil in a pot over high heat. Reduce heat to medium.
3. 3 Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess; discard remaining marinade. Add chicken to boiling water and cook until just white on the outside but not completely cooked through, about 1 minute.
4. 4 Drain chicken and finish cooking in a hot oiled wok or skillet until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, or store parboiled chicken in the refrigerator in a sealed container until ready to use, up to a few hours.
