Homemade Moo Goo Gai Pan Recipe

1/2 cup water
2 tsps soy sauce
2 tsps white wine
4 tsps cornstarch
1/2 tsp brown sugar
1 cup shaved carrots
1 lb fresh mushrooms, cut in half
2 cups snow peas, fresh or frozen
1 lb chicken meat, cut into thin strips
2 garlic cloves, grated
4 oz sliced water chestnuts

Put first 5 ingredients in a bowl, whisk until smooth, then set aside. This is your cooking sauce.
Put a wok over high heat with about 1 inch of oil.

Add the carrots and stir fry for about 2 minutes, then add mushrooms, stir fry for another 2 minutes, then add the snow peas and stir fry for about 1 minute; remove mixture from wok.

Add the chicken and cook, stirring, until the chicken is no longer pink, about 3 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook 1 more minute, then push the chicken up to the sides of the wok and add the sauce mixture into the center of the wok. Let it come to a boil.

Add back in the vegetables and add the water chestnuts, cooking just until heated through. Serve spooned over cooked rice.

Will serve 4 to 6 with rice.
