Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons white pepper
1 egg white
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
2 tablespoons grated ginger
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon orange marmalade
1 (8 ounce) jar baby corn, drained
1 (8 ounce) can sliced bamboo shoots, drained
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the cornstarch, white pepper, and egg whites.
  • Add the chicken and toss until well coated.
  • Heat a large nonstick wok until blazing hot. Coat the bottom of the pan with the canola oil.
  • Add the chicken to the pan and move continuously to prevent chicken from sticking together.
  • Saute for about 1 1/2 minutes. Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the wok and keep warm.
  • Over high heat, add to the wok the soy sauce, tomato paste, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, vinegar, and marmalade. Lower heat and simmer for approximately 30 seconds to thicken.
  • Add the baby corn and bamboo shoots and warm through.
  • Once sauce is thick and warm, whisk in the pineapple.
  • To serve, arrange chicken strips on a platter and pour the sauce over the chicken.
