Description

Moo Shu Chicken is a flavorful dish featuring stir-fried chicken, crispy vegetables, and a savory, tangy sauce, all wrapped in soft Chinese pancakes or tortillas. A perfect mix of healthy and satisfying, this dish is great for any occasion.


Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced thin

2 cups shredded cabbage

1 cup sliced mushrooms

1 cup julienned carrots

2 green onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

810 Chinese pancakes or tortillas

Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine sliced chicken with soy sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.
  2. Wash and cut the cabbage, mushrooms, and carrots. Chop the green onions and set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. Add cabbage, mushrooms, and carrots to the wok, cooking for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  6. Pour in oyster sauce (if using) and more soy sauce. Stir to coat the mixture, then heat through.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Warm Chinese pancakes or tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat.
  9. Spoon Moo Shu Chicken mixture into pancakes, roll them up, and serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe can be made vegetarian by swapping chicken for tofu or tempeh.

For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or fresh chilies to the stir-fry.

For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce and tortillas or lettuce leaves.

Adjust vegetables according to your preference or what’s in season.
