Mah Gu Gai Pin (moo Goo Gai Pan) image

This is the authentic Chinese version of Moo Goo Gai Pan. It means "fresh mushrooms cooked with sliced chicken." The difference being the ingredients and sauce. I find both versions delish!

I'm allergic to soy sauce. Can I use a different sauce in this recipe?

I'm not sure why this recipe has so many positive reviews. I made it exactly as directed and it was the worst Moo Goo Gai Pan I've ever had.

This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. The sauce was too thick and the chicken was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Moo Goo Gai Pan turned out bland and tasteless. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have any flavor.
