Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 8 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup snow peas
- 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 cup water chestnuts, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a small bowl, combine the chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until lightly browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms, snow peas, carrots, water chestnuts, and broccoli florets to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, oyster sauce, sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and white pepper.
Return the cooked chicken to the wok. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir-fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles and enjoy your delicious Moo Goo Gai Pan!
