Velveting beef is something I do often to beef, chicken & pork before adding to a stirfry.
To a large handful of thinly sliced meat sprinkle 1 teaspoon of baking soda & mix well. Leave 30 minutes-2 days before cooking. I usually add oyster sauce & sesame oil to marinade after the baking soda. Well cooked chicken breast is still moist & plump.
