Instructions
- [Authentic & Quick Recipe]
- [Chicken Breast Anti-dryness Tech] Slice cheap super chicken breast (skinless) ultra-thin diagonally cutting across fibers. Put in bowl, add salt, wine, and '
- tbsp potato starch', massage firmly by hand (*Chinese basic tech 'Zhua Yan'. Starch traps meat moisture, yielding smooth/soft texture).
- [Punchy Quick Lu Zhi] Boil cola (lesser), soy, Mentsuyu, tube ginger, garlic, five-spice in a pot.
- [1-Min Exquisite Heating] Put prepped chicken breast slice by slice without overlapping into boiling soup. Keep on high; turn off heat immediately when meat surface whitens and starch turns transparent/smooth (just '1-
- mins').
- [Finishing] Remove heat as is in soup. Residual heat cooks inside gently, completing supreme chicken—absolutely never dry, amazingly smooth with Taiwan aroma.

Trivia

Eating tips & etiquette
