Moo Shu Chicken (moo shu for you!!! he he he)
INGREDIENTS:
1 lbs. chicken breast - cut into 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick strips
1 tablespoon peanut oil for stir-frying (optional if using non-stick fry pan instead of Wok)
1 package coleslaw mix - with green and purple cabbage and carrots if you can find it I used 1/2 package
2/3 cup green onions I used 1 whole onion (only because that is what i had on hand)
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (use more if you'd like) I used 1 t. ground dried ginger (again, because i had it)
1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup water nope left this out
8 flour tortillas (8 inch diameter), warmed again left this out
1/3 cup hoisin sauce left this out
ADDED:
1 chopped zucchini
2 stalks celery
1 can of water chestnuts
Marinade: For me this became the "sauce"
2 tablespoons soy sauce - reduced sodium
2 tablespoons water (i used 1 cup, since i took the hosin sauce out of above)
1 tablespoon sesame oil - Olive oil works fine too (skipped this)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger (again used the dried ground)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar (used 2 Tablespoons of SPLENDA I upped the amt because i left the hosin sauce out)
PREPARATION:
Slice chicken into thin strips. In a medium bowl combine marinade ingredients and add chicken, tossing to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 10 - 15 minutes. (I skipped this because i wanted to use it as the sauce... probably still could have, but would have to make sure it got REALLY good and hot since if used as a marinade first, would have been on raw chicken didn't want to mess with that tonight...)
Remove chicken from marinade, discard marinade. (so i skipped this)
Heat wok and add peanut oil, or just heat large non-stick frying pan. Add chicken and stir-fry until it turns white...about 3 - 5 minutes. (I stir fried my chicken, onion, garlic, celery, zucchini for 3-5 mintues)
Added the "marinade" which for me was a sauce. Let it simmer for about 15 min
Add coleslaw mix, green onions, ginger, and cornstarch mixture. Cook and stir until sauce is thickened and bubbly. (added the cole slaw mix and water chestnuts just long enough to heat... i wanted there to be crunch)
To assemble...spread one side of each tortilla with 2 teaspoons of Hoisin sauce, spoon about 1/2 cup chicken mixture in center of each tortilla. Fold bottom edge up over filling. Fold right and left sides to center, overlapping edges. Makes 8 wraps. (skipped this... ate it out of a bowl...)
(yes, the cole slaw had about 2 baby carrots worth of shredded carrots in it... i didn't pick them out... even though those are fine in phase 2 and im in phase 1..... im still calling it a "perfect phase 1" if my big CHEAT of 2 weeks is 1 baby carrot... i think im ok)
