Moo goo gai pan is a Chinese-American dish that originated from Cantonese cuisine. It is a stir-fry dish made with chicken, mushrooms, and other vegetables, such as bok choy, snow peas, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, water chestnuts, carrots, and/or Chinese cabbage (Napa cabbage) . The name "moo goo gai pan" comes from the Cantonese names of the ingredients, which literally mean "mushroom chicken slices". The chicken is thinly sliced and stir-fried with the vegetables in a savory sauce made with oyster sauce, soy sauce, chicken broth, and cornstarch. The dish can be served over rice or noodles.
