  • 1 tablespoon baking soda see note 1
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • ¼ cup carrots peeled and sliced
  • 1½ tablespoon oil vegetable or sesame
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 12 sizable raw shrimp cleaned and deveined
  • ½ cup mushrooms sliced
  • ½ cup water chestnut slices
  • 1 cup baby corn chopped into thirds
  • 3 green onions sliced

For the Sauce:

  • ¾ cup cold chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons Chinese cooking wine see note 2
  • 1½ tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1½ tablespoons soy sauce
  • A generous sprinkle of white pepper powder

Instructions
 

Prepare the Proteins:

  • Slice the chicken breast and flank steak into thin strips.
  • Toss the flank steak with the baking soda and set aside for 10 minutes (this tenderizes the meat).
  • Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
  • Season the chicken and shrimp lightly with salt.

Stir-Fry the Meat:

  • Warm 1 tablespoon of oil in a spacious wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until fully cooked.
  • Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add another ½ tablespoon of oil and stir-fry the steak for 2-3 minutes until browned but still tender.
  • Take them out and set aside alongside the chicken.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables:

  • Add the broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, baby corn, and water chestnuts to the pan.
  • Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are soft yet retain a bit of crunch.
  • Remove from the pan.

Cook the Shrimp:

  • In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed, and cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes until they turn pink.
  • Remove and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cornstarch, Chinese cooking wine, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and white pepper.
  • Make sure the cornstarch is fully dissolved.

Combine Everything:

  • Return all the cooked meats, shrimp, and vegetables to the pan.
  • Pour in the sauce and toss everything together over medium heat.
  • Stir until the sauce thickens and coats the stir-fry, about 2-3 minutes.

Serve:

  • Garnish with sliced green onions and serve your Ultimate Family Stir-Fry hot with steamed rice or noodles.
