Moo Goo Gai Pan II
While you may see this dish frequently at American Chinese restaurants, it is actually a true Cantonese dish. This is the Americanized version that will duplicate what you're used to eating for take-out. You can substitute sherry and soy sauce for the white wine to make a version with brown sauce.
π Recipe adapted from AllRecipes
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
Stir in the mushrooms, snow peas, water chestnuts, and bok choy; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cook and stir until the vegetables are just tender, about 5 minutes.
Remove the vegetables from the wok and wipe the wok clean.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in the wok.
Stir in the garlic and ginger; cook a few seconds until the garlic begins to turn golden brown.
Stir in the chicken and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Add the wine, sugar, and chicken broth; bring to a boil.
Dissolve the cornstarch in the water and stir into the simmering sauce.
Once the sauce returns to a simmer, stir until thick and clear, about 30 seconds.
Return the vegetables to the wok and toss until hot and coated with the sauce.
