Moo Goo Gai Pan Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Gather and prepare all the ingredients. Slice the chicken, mushrooms, and carrots, and trim the snow peas.

2

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix the sliced chicken with soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

3

Cook the Chicken

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

4

Stir-Fry the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and all the vegetables (mushrooms, snow peas, carrots, and broccoli). Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

5

Combine Chicken and Broth

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6

Serve

Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
