    • light soy sauce
      2.5 g

Remove tenderloin and slice chicken lengthwise into 3-5 strips. Turn strips perpendicular and slice across the grain into ⅛ inch (3mm) slivers, repeat with tenderloin.

Wash chicken slivers under cold running water until they become slightly more white in appearance. Wring all water out of the slivers in your hand or by pressing against the colander.

Mix in baking soda with washed chicken for 30-45 seconds to the chicken. Mix in the rest of the marinade ingredients and for at least 15 minutes before use or up to overnight.
