The BEST recipe I've tested for Moo Goo Gai Pan. I found this in the May 8, 1988 issue of Awake! magazine, published by the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, NY. There are a LOT of ingredients but once you have them all prepped and ready to go the recipe comes together very quickly, and it's SO worth it!

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2-2 cups chicken breasts (I've tried breast, thighs and mixed, all worked well)
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons wine
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 slices gingerroot (optional)
4 cups bok choy
1/2 cup sliced celery
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms or 1/2 cup canned mushroom
1/4 cup water chestnut
1/4 cup bamboo shoot (optional)
1/4 lb snow peas
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 cups chicken stock
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons wine or 2 teaspoons sherry wine
1/4 cup cornstarch, blended into
1/4 cup cold water

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken pieces in the soy sauce, wine, and sugar.
  • Stir in the cornstarch, and allow the pieces to stand for half an hour.
  • Heat the grease or oil in a wok or a frying pan, and stir-fry the meat, separating the pieces as they cook.
  • Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add more oil to the pan, and heat it until quite hot. Add the ginger slices and fry them for 30 seconds.
  • Add the vegetables all at once while the pan is still hot. Stir-fry vegetables briefly, which will cool the oil enough so that the.
  • minced garlic can be added without burning.
  • Stir-fry for one minute.
  • Add boiling stock, cover, and simmer for one more minute. Uncover the pan and add the next five ingredients.
  • Slowly pour in the cornstarch mixture while stirring, and stop as soon as the desired thickness is achieved.
  • Lastly, add the cooked chicken to the vegetables, stirring just enough to reheat. Serve with steamed rice.
  • Note: prep and cooking times are approximately as are servings. This all depends on your experience at oriental style cooking and how much you eat. It will feed quite a few people though!
