Velvet Coating
- 1 egg white

directions
- To coat the chicken lightly whisk the egg white in a large bowl but do not let it go frothy. Whisk in the other coating ingredients. Add the chicken strips and mix well and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Bring the water and 1 tbsp of oil to the boil in a wok. Add the chicken and keep stirring to separate the strips until the chicken pieces turn white, which should take less than a minute. Remove chicken and put into a colander and shake off liquid.
- Heat half the extra oil in the pan and fry the flaked almonds until golden. Scoop onto paper towels.
- Wipe out the wok. Heat remaining oil, sear the ginger and then quickly toss the chicken pieces for about a minute. Add the blanched broccolini for a few seconds and then serve with almonds scattered over.
