Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Slice the mushrooms, bell pepper, and carrot. Trim the snow peas and chop the green onions. Mince the garlic.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

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

  2. 4

    Stir-Fry the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add a little more oil if necessary. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the sliced mushrooms, snow peas, carrots, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  3. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth.

  4. 6

    Combine Everything

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving. Moo Goo Gai Pan can be served over steamed rice or noodles.
