Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (thinly sliced) 1 pound
Soy Sauce 2 tablespoons
Sesame Oil 1 tablespoon
Olive Oil 2 tablespoons
Shredded Cabbage 3 cups
Sliced Mushrooms 1 cup
Shredded Carrots 1/2 cup
Green Onions (sliced) 3
Garlic (minced) 2 cloves
Fresh Ginger (grated) 1 tablespoon
Hoisin Sauce 2 tablespoons
Rice Vinegar 1 tablespoon
Salt To taste
Pepper To taste

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced chicken breasts with the soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss to coat and let marinate for about 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through (no longer pink), about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté garlic and ginger: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and grated fresh ginger and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Stir-fry vegetables: Add the shredded cabbage, sliced mushrooms, and shredded carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Combine chicken and sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the hoisin sauce and rice vinegar. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.
  6. Season and garnish: Season the Moo Shu Chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with the sliced green onions before serving.
