Blows people's minds when I cook with this technique... How did you get this so tender?... Magic young Skywalker, magic, and cornstarch

Thanks for this! I only bought a wok about 3 weeks ago. Did some chicken on my first try and it was slightly tough (according to my folks, too). I did it again tonight using this method and it was WAY more tender. Even the elderly folks liked it.

Immediately liked the video when the video cut to him cleaning the knife and cutting board after cutting the chicken.. living in a college dorm has exposed me to many people who don't appreciate proper handing of raw meat. Thank you for showing that essential step.

My brother, who moved back to Missouri, taught me this method... Unknown to me was that he had been cooking Asian for many years and thank goodness he shared his knowledge... Half my pantry is stock with all I need to cook Asian whenever I feel like it.. My brother and I cook together and we also cook Italian, and Mexican.... Cooking is one way I have to relax. My wife is a very happy with my meals...

This is the kind of guy where you can just sit back and watch his videos even if you don't have any intention of actually following the recipes. Very relaxing

I’m a retired chef, and have taught cooking and communication skills to many young aspiring chefs. Your presentations are very well done, and informative. I enjoyed watching this one. But not just…<br>Thanks for sharing knowledge.

I made some beef stir fry yesterday and used the baking soda method and was totally shocked at how great the meat turned out. I know about cutting against the grain but the baking soda took it to a whole new level of tenderness. Definitely going to try this with chicken too! Really great technique!

Tried this out tonight with your stir fry sauce recipe and it was hands down the best stir fry I've ever cooked at home ! The chicken was so tender !! I didn't think you could make restaurant quality at home..my family loved it !

I appreciate the jazz in the background. Many cooking videos have annoying background music or move at too slow of a pace. This video was configured perfectly and actually genuinely helpful. Keep up the good work!

My uncle learned this technique from an Asian cookbook and showed me many years ago. I valet a bowl of chicken and keep it in my fridge for a day or two. I just grab a handful of pieces to throw in casadillias and tacos.
