Moo Goo Gai Pan
Click here
This comforting, saucy Moo Goo Gai Pan (i.e. a stir-fry featuring chicken and mushrooms) is loaded with fresh vegetables and umami. Moist chicken and tender-crisp veggies are generously glazed in a brown gravy flavored with sweet Shaoxing wine, savory oyster sauce, and rice vinegar for a balancing touch of brightness—making for an insanely tasty homemade take on a classic Chinese takeout favorite. We opt to use just one large chicken breast for this dish to put a stronger emphasis on the veggie goodness, while still providing enough meaty satisfaction and protein. If you prep out all of your ingredients before you begin cooking, this flavor packed stir-fry comes together in a matter of minutes. Serve over rice for an easy weeknight dinner that delivers both on deliciousness and healthfulness. And any leftovers make for an excellent packed lunch for the next day.
