- 1 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

- Whisk egg white, vinegar, cornstarch, and salt together in a bowl until marinade is smooth. Add chicken; cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, about 30 minutes.
- Bring water and oil to a boil in a pot over high heat. Reduce heat to medium.
- Pour excess marinade off the chicken. Add chicken to the pot; boil until white on the outside but still raw in the middle, about 1 minute. Strain off excess liquid.
- Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container until ready to use, up to a few hours. Heat until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
