For the Moo Shu Chicken

Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Rehydrate the Mushrooms

    Soak the dried wood ear mushrooms in warm water for about 30 minutes until they are soft. Drain and slice into strips.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Julienne the carrot, shred the cabbage, and chop the green onions. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until they are no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 5

    Stir-fry the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary. Add garlic, ginger, and the prepared vegetables (carrot, cabbage, mushrooms, and green onions). Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  3. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add soy sauce and hoisin sauce. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  4. 7

    Scramble the Eggs

    Push the chicken and vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them into the chicken and vegetable mixture.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Moo Shu Chicken

    Warm the flour tortillas or Chinese pancakes in a separate pan. Serve the Moo Shu Chicken mixture with the tortillas on the side, allowing everyone to make their own wraps.
