Ingredients
For chicken
- 1 tablespoon Potato Starch
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 9 grams garlic (1 large clove finely minced)
- 250 grams boneless skinless chicken breast (1 breast thinly sliced)
For Moo Goo Gai Pan Sauce
- ½ cup low sodium chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons Potato Starch
For stir-fry
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 70 grams carrots (peeled and sliced)
- 120 grams fresh shiitake mushrooms (sliced)
- 70 grams snow pea (trimmed)
Instructions
- Add the potato starch for the chicken and the Shaoxing wine, salt and garlic into a bowl and stir to combine. Next, add the sliced chicken and mix everything together to ensure each piece is well coated with the marinade.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, oyster sauce, and remaining potato starch.
- Heat a large frying pan over high heat (I used a 12-inch pan). When the pan is hot, add the oil and chicken and spread it out into a single layer.
- Add the sliced carrots between the chicken pieces and let these fry until the breast meat is almost cooked through.
- Add the mushrooms and toss the ingredients to stir fry them until the mushrooms are glossy and the chicken is cooked through.
- Add the snow peas and stir-fry until they're vibrant green in color.
- Give the sauce mixture a stir and add it to the pan. When the sauce has thickened and coated all of the ingredients, the Moo Goo Gai Pan is done.
