Ingredients
– 8 oz. sliced chicken breast
– 1 tablespoon water for marinating the chicken
– 1 teaspoon oil for marinating the chicken
– 3 tablespoons oil divided for cooking
– 2 large eggs beaten
– 2 tablespoons hot water
– 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce plus extra for the pancakes
– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
– 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
– 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
– 2 cloves of minced garlic
– 3 cups shredded Napa cabbage
– 5 soaked and sliced shiitake mushrooms about 1/2 cup
– 1 tablespoon soaked and chopped wood ear mushrooms about 1/2 cup
– 1/2 cup soaked and julienned bamboo shoots
– 1/4 cup soaked lily flowers ends removed
– 2 scallions cut into 2-inch pieces
– 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine added during stir-frying
Instructions
1-First, prepare the chicken by slicing 8 oz. of chicken breast and marinating it with 1 tablespoon of water, 1 teaspoon of oil, and other seasonings for 15 minutes. This helps the chicken absorb flavors and stay tender.
2-Next, beat 2 large eggs and fry them in a hot wok with some of the divided oil to make an omelet, then slice it into strips for that classic texture.
3-Mix 2 tablespoons of hot water with 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon light soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil to create a flavorful sauce base.
4-Heat the remaining oil in a hot wok and stir-fry the marinated chicken until itβs nearly cooked, then add 1 tablespoon of Shaoxing wine for that authentic touch.
5-Add the vegetables separately: start with 3 cups shredded Napa cabbage, 5 soaked and sliced shiitake mushrooms, 1 tablespoon soaked and chopped wood ear mushrooms, 1/2 cup soaked and julienned bamboo shoots, and 1/4 cup soaked lily flowers. Stir-fry until they soften but keep their crunch.
6-Combine the sauce with the chicken and egg strips, tossing everything with the vegetables and 2 scallions cut into 2-inch pieces for a fresh finish.
7-Serve the mixture with warmed Mandarin pancakes, spreading a bit of extra hoisin sauce on each for the perfect wrap.
