Ingredients
  

Vegetable Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 2 cups chopped broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 15 ounce can whole straw mushrooms, drained
  • 1 8 ounce can sliced bamboo shoots, drained
  • 1 8 ounce can sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into strips
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok over high heat until it begins to smoke.
  2. Add the broccoli and fresh mushrooms to the wok. Stir in the straw mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
  3. Transfer the veggies to a bowl and wipe out the wok.
  4. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the wok over high heat until it smokes again.
  5. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for a few seconds until it turns golden.
  6. Add the chicken strips to the wok. Stir-fry until the chicken is browned and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes.
Sauce Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, stir together the chicken broth, cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and rice wine.
  2. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the wok and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  3. Boil until the sauce thickens and becomes clear, about 30 seconds.
  4. Return the vegetables to the wok. Toss everything together in the sauce and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
Serving
  1. Serve Moo Goo Gai Pan hot over a bed of steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
