It\u2019s part of Cantonese cuisine and usually includes chicken and mushrooms that are served with other vegetables depending on your preference and where it is prepared. It\u2019s a quick and easy Chinese dish that is now modernized into an American-Chinese stir fry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-ingredients-for-moo-goo-gai-pan\">Ingredients for Moo Goo Gai Pan<\/h2>\n<p>This is everything you need to make a delicious moo goo gai pan stir fry! All the flavors from the ingredients blend so well together to make this a fresh and hearty meal. Check out the recipe card for exact measurements!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Olive Oil<\/strong>: Used to cook the chicken in.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken Thighs<\/strong>: I cut my chicken thighs into 1 inch chunks but if you like the classic Chinese thin sliced cuts of meat that will work too. Just be sure not to overcook your sliced chicken since it is thinner.\u00a0If you don\u2019t want to use thigh meat, you can also use boneless skinless chicken breasts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt and Pepper<\/strong>: Help to enhance all of the tasty flavors of moo goo gai pan. Season to taste!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vegetables: <\/strong>The great thing about stir fries is that you can throw in leftover veggies that you have in the fridge. I used carrots, mushrooms, water chestnuts, and snow peas! Bok choy, bamboo shoots, celery, or cabbage are great options as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chopped Green Onions and Sesame Seeds: <\/strong>For garnish! These add a little extra flavor and also give the moo goo gai pan great presentation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 id=\"h-for-the-sauce\">For the Sauce:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chicken Broth<\/strong>: This is the liquid gold that makes the moo goo gai pan sauce come to life! It adds depth of flavor and richness to the dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soy Sauce<\/strong>: This umami bomb ties everything together in the sauce. It gives the dish that classic savory taste we all know and love.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown Sugar<\/strong>: Sweet, sweet brown sugar! This guy brings balance to the moo goo gai pan sauce by adding a touch of sweetness that complements the salty and savory flavors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic<\/strong>: This tiny but mighty ingredient packs a flavorful punch in the sauce. It adds a subtle yet powerful garlicky aroma and taste that will make your mouth water.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/hoisin-sauce\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Hoisin Sauce<\/a><\/strong>: This sweet and savory sauce is a staple in Chinese cuisine, and it adds a unique flavor to the moo goo gai pan sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sesame Oil<\/strong>: Just a small amount of sesame oil goes a long way in adding nuttiness and depth to the sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornstarch<\/strong>: Cornstarch is the key to achieving the perfect consistency in the moo goo gai pan sauce. It thickens the sauce just enough to coat the chicken and veggies without being too heavy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water<\/strong>: Last but not least, water! It\u2019s what helps to bring all the ingredients together and create a delicious, cohesive sauce. It\u2019s like the glue that holds everything together, and also helps to adjust the sauce\u2019s consistency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h-recipe-for-moo-goo-gai-pan\">Recipe for Moo Goo Gai Pan<\/h2>\n<p>You can\u2019t go wrong with this Chinese dinner staple. It\u2019s quick, simple to make and served up hot and ready in less than 20 minutes. Time to gather up your ingredients and a saucepan! This saucy, savory dish is the perfect solution for a hungry family on busy weeknights.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Cook Chicken: <\/strong>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/imusa-14-34-coated-wok-with-bakelite-handle\/-\/A-86006354#lnk=sametab\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">large skillet or wok<\/a> add the olive oil and turn to medium high heat.

But here are a few extra tips to make sure your meal turns out as delicious as your favorite Chinese restaurant!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Vegetable Size: <\/b>It\u2019s best to cut the vegetables all the same size and width. This will help ensure that they cook evenly and at the same rate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t Overcook the Veggies<\/strong>: Moo goo gai pan is all about fresh, crisp veggies. To ensure they retain their texture and flavor, don\u2019t overcook them. They should be tender but still have a bit of crunch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t Overcrowd the Pan:<\/strong> When cooking the chicken and veggies, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This can cause the ingredients to steam instead of sear, resulting in a mushy texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cutting Chicken: <\/strong>When cutting the chicken a simple trick is to place the chicken in the freezer for about 20 to 30 minutes. Letting the chicken become hard but not frozen helps cut the chicken easier. Be sure to cut against the grain for best results. At this time, it is best to slice the chicken into thin slices or one inch chunks depending on what you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep Your Wok Hot: <\/strong>Make sure your wok or skillet is always hot when cooking the chicken and vegetables. This will help them become seared to perfection!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve With Rice<\/strong>: Moo goo gai pan is traditionally served with <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/instant-pot-rice\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">steamed rice<\/a>, which helps to soak up the delicious sauce and balance out the flavors.
