Isn’t Moo Shu such a fun dish? It’s kinda like nachos; you can eat it the original way, or stack them high, make a crunchy salad out of them. With Moo Shu, you can wrap them up like you’re supposed to, or use the pancake as a big fork thing to shovel the chicken, or cut it all up and eat it with a fork. My love for Moo Shu Chicken started when my ex-husband...

How to make Moo Shu Chicken

For the Chinese Pancakes

  1. Step 1

    Pour the flour into a large bowl. Bring water to a boil, and slowly pour the hot water in, stirring the flour, then pour the cold water in.

  2. Step 2

    Let the flour come to room temperature. Knead the dough in a stand mixer or by hand for 6-10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Cover with a wet towel and set aside for 20 to 30 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Roll the dough into a log, then cut into 20 sections.

  5. Step 5

    Brush oil on the top of one section and the bottom of another, then press the two together. Roll the overlapped pancake into a large circle.

  6. Step 6

    Brush some oil in a pan and fry the pancake until one side is slightly brown, then flip it over to brown the other side.

  7. Step 7

    After finishing, separate each pancake into two and serve while still warm.

For the Chicken

  1. Step 1

    In a large saucepan, add sesame oil over medium heat. When the oil is fragrant, add garlic, ginger, angel hair slaw, bean sprouts, carrots, mushrooms, and onion.

  2. Step 2

    Add the chicken and combine with tongs until mixed well.

  3. Step 3

    Sprinkle with soy sauce and cover, reducing heat to medium-low. Steam until the cabbage has wilted, about 10 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

For the Moo Shu Sauce

  1. Step 1

    Whisk water and cornstarch together in a small bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Put the rest of the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat.

  3. Step 3

    Bring to a simmer, add the cornstarch mixture, and whisk until the sauce starts to thicken.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from heat and serve with Moo Shu Chicken.
