  • 1 can Bamboo shoots
  • 1 can Water chestnuts

  • 1 clove Garlic

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Prepare your ingredients: Slice the about 680 g Chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Slice the about 450 g Mushrooms. Drain and rinse the 1 can Bamboo shoots and the 1 can Water chestnuts.
  2. 2Make the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup Coconut aminos, 1/2 cup Chicken broth, and 1 tbsp Rice flour until smooth. Set aside.
  3. 3Cook the chicken: Heat the 1 tsp Sesame oil in a 30.48 cm wok or large skillet over medium-high heat (204.4°C / 200°C). Add the about 680 g Chicken breast and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. 4Add aromatics: Add the 1 tsp Ginger and 1 clove Garlic to the wok with the chicken. Cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. 5Cook the vegetables: Add the about 450 g Mushrooms, 1 can Bamboo shoots, and 1 can Water chestnuts to the wok. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms have softened and released some of their liquid.
  6. 6Thicken the sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the wok. Stir everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the ingredients. The sauce should look glossy.
  7. 7Serve: Serve the Moo Goo Gai Pan hot immediately.
