Bring saucy, tender bourbon chicken home with this timeless technique

Washington Post27-05-2025
Have you ever noticed how the meat and seafood from your favorite Chinese restaurant are particularly succulent? The trick, it turns out, is a technique called velveting.
'It's very prevalent in Chinese cuisine,' said Tim Ma, the chef-owner behind Chinese American restaurant Lucky Danger. And it can be found in other Asian cuisines as well. The technique has been around for centuries. Ma recalls childhood memories of watching his mother use it at his family's restaurant but never heard the word 'velveting' until later in life.

Jung Woo-sung registers marriage to long-term partner?

5 Aug - Rumour has it that Jung Woo-sung has now registered his marriage, but not to the mother of his baby. The news was shared by Korean outlet MyDaily on 5 August, stating that the actor is now legally married to a non-showbiz woman whom he reportedly has been seeing for a very long time. In response to the rumour, Jung's agency Artist Company stated, "As this concerns the actor's private life, we ask for your understanding that the company will not be making any official statement. We respectfully ask that people refrain from excessive speculation and interest regarding his personal affairs." Jung previously made headlines after it was revealed that he has fathered a son with model Moon Ga-bi, whom he met in 2022. The model gave birth to a baby boy in March last year. His agency at the time stated, "We are discussing the best approach to raising the child, and Jung will fulfil his responsibilities as a father." (Photo Source: Moon Ga-bi IG, SCMP)

Sophia Albarakbah: I didn't think Bella was being snide!

5 Aug - Sophia Albarakbah recently stated that she didn't think Bella Astillah was making a snide remark when she announced her as the winner of the Selebriti Feminin Terhangat (Hottest Female Celebrity) category at the Anugerah Melodi Terhangat (AMT) that was held on 3 August. The actress, who spoke to the media after winning the title at the event, said that she is not at all affected by Bella's comment that "I know her, I know her very well" before announcing her name as the winner, and was more focused on the fact that she won the category. "I didn't feel slighted. We are in the same industry. I am more focused on processing this idea that I have won. I am still surprised by it," she said. On the other hand, Bella immediately departed after the event concluded, sparking speculations that there are still tensions between the two parties. The singer herself won Best Celebrity Couple Goals alongside Muar MP, Syed Saddiq. Sophia and Bella had a fall out back in 2023, after the latter revealed that Sophia was the third party in her marriage with Aliff Aziz. However, she and Aliff ended their marriage in June 2024 after the singer was caught with actress Ruhainies. (Photo Source: Sophia Albarakbah IG, HibGlam)

Zhao Lusi shades management with a green tea emoji

5 Aug - Zhao Lusi seems to be truly over it when it comes to her management, Yinhekuyu Media (aka Galaxy Cool), after the company decided to respond to the allegations she made against them. On 3 August, the company released its own statement via Weibo, stating that they were shocked by Lusi's earlier post accusing them of multiple failings following her hospitalisation for multiple health related issues late last year. Denying that they have breached the contract, the company reiterated its commitment to fulfilling its responsibilities under management contract and cooperation with Lusi to resolve the issue. They also urged the actress to avoid from posting statements online that can lead to public misunderstanding. In her response, she reposted the statement and started her own post with a green tea emoji, which has a connotation of "being sweet in public but actually manipulative and evil" in Chinese slang. She then wrote, "In a company with so many shareholders, only one person messages me? It's like punching into cotton. No resistance. Then just silently watching you go crazy. But it never actually addresses anything from your last Weibo post. Privately, they're having lawyers scour for evidence against me." "Whoever guided that statement should go be a screenwriter. They created a very layered character of a cheating, abusive man," she added. (Photo Source: Zhao Lusi IG)
