Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups shredded coleslaw mix
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp pepper
- 8 flour tortillas or Chinese pancakes (optional for serving)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch to the bowl. Toss well to coat, then set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the green onions, minced ginger, and garlic. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shredded coleslaw mix and sliced shiitake mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in the hoisin sauce and toss everything together. Cook for 2 minutes to heat through.
Push the chicken and vegetable mixture to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs into the empty side of the skillet and scramble them, cooking for 2 minutes until just set.
Mix the scrambled eggs into the chicken and vegetable mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Warm the tortillas or Chinese pancakes according to package instructions, if serving.
Serve the Moo Shu Chicken warm, spooned onto tortillas or pancakes. Roll up and enjoy!
