It's through a technique called velveting, which is a process that uses ingredients to make protein tender, most techniques require you to bruise the meat with a mallet or rolling pin to make it tender, which works very well, hitting the meat with a blunt objects causes the cells to rupture, which means they stay tender when cooked. However if you learn to velvet your meat, the tenderness is much better and depending what method you use, much tastier.
