Moo Goo Gai Pan

The simple Chinese American stir-fry of sliced chicken (gai pan in Cantonese) and mushrooms (mo gu in Cantonese) has been popular almost as long as there have been Chinese restaurants stateside. Versions of the dish vary, but most offer a supporting cast of veggies that often include snow peas, sugar snap peas, sliced carrots, water chestnuts and bamboo shoots to name a few. Our recipe puts an emphasis on a satisfying amount of vegetables and features a flavorful sauce that’s lighter than some but still gets extra depth and umami from oyster sauce.
