Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium bowl combine 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and a few grinds of black pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
• Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to overnight.
• In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup chicken broth, the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Set aside.
• Heat a wok or heavy-bottomed large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken, leaving any liquid from the marinade behind (discard the marinade). Stir continuously until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Add another tablespoon of peanut oil to the wok. When the oil shimmers, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring continuously, until the mushrooms begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
• Add the remaining 1/4 cup of chicken broth and continue to cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Push the mushrooms to the sides of the pan to create a well in the center. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut oil to the well in the pan.
• When the oil shimmers, add the minced ginger and water chestnuts to the well and stir continuously until warmed through, about 1 minute.
• Create another well in the center of the pan. Add the chicken broth-soy sauce mixture. Stir the sauce quickly until thickened and beginning to bubble.
• Return the chicken to the pan with the shredded carrots, if using. Toss the mixture until well combined.
• Continue cooking until the chicken is warmed through and the carrots are crisp-tender, about 1 more minute.
• Serve over steamed rice .

MOO GOO GAI PAN: MUSHROOM CHICKEN STIR FRY

Steps:

• Place the chicken and 3 tablespoons of water in a medium bowl. Massage the chicken with your hands until the water is absorbed by the chicken. Next, add the rest of the marinade ingredients: 1 teaspoon canola oil, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of ground white pepper. Mix well and set aside for 20 minutes.
• Heat the wok over high heat until it just starts to smoke. Coat the perimeter of the wok with two tablespoons of oil, and spread the chicken in one layer around the wok. Let it sear for 20 seconds. Turn the chicken and let the other side sear for another 20 seconds. Turn the heat off, and transfer the chicken back to your marinade bowl. The chicken should be about 60% done.
• Turn the burner back on to high heat, and add another tablespoon of oil, along with the ginger slices. Let the ginger infuse the oil for about 10 seconds. Add the scallions and garlic and stir fry for another 15 seconds. Next, add the mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts. Stir fry for 30 seconds, and add the bok choy.
• Next, add the Shaoxing wine and stir-fry for another minute. Then add the seared chicken slices and the hot chicken stock. It's important to add hot or even boiling chicken stock to keep the wok up to temperature. Most stove burners at home don't generate enough heat for a good stir-fry, so this is especially important for home cooks!
• While the mixture is coming to a boil, add about a teaspoon of salt and a pinch of white pepper, along with the sugar, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir until well-combined. Taste the sauce with a spoon and re-season to taste.
• Give the cornstarch slurry a quick stir, as the water and starch tend to separate, and add slowly to the wok while stirring constantly. You can add more or less slurry, depending upon how thick you like your sauce to be. After a minute, the sauce should be thickened. Serve immediately with steamed rice!
