Lemon brightens the flavour of this stir-fry and should be added once the food is plated. If an acidic ingredient like lemon juice is added to the wok, it will ruin the pan’s patina.

In a medium bowl, combine chicken, 1 Tbsp sherry, 1 tsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine broth, soy sauce, remaining 2 Tbsp dry sherry, and 1 tsp cornstarch. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within 1 to 2 seconds of contact; swirl in 1 Tbsp oil. Add shallots and garlic; stir-fry 10 seconds or until fragrant. Push shallot mixture to sides of wok and add chicken; spread evenly in one layer in wok. Cook undisturbed 1 minute, letting chicken begin to sear. Stir-fry 1 minute until chicken is no longer pink but not cooked through.
