PANDA EXPRESS'S MUSHROOM CHICKEN Recipe | Wok With Me

Serving Size = 4 Foodies

Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs chicken breasts or thighs (cooked more in the vid)
- 4 small zucchinis
- 1.5 cup mushrooms
- Neutral-flavored cooking oil (e.g. canola or vegetable oil)

Chicken Marinade:
- 1.5 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1.5 tbsp shaoxing wine
- 1 tbsp chicken powder
- 1 tbsp white pepper
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1.5 tbsp sesame oil

Mushroom Chicken Sauce:
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp minced ginger
- ¼ cup chicken stock or water
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
- 2 tbsp vinegar
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp chicken bouillon powder (optional)
- Slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch to 2 tbsp water)

Steps:
1) Cut your chicken into cubes.
2) Marinade your chicken with light soy sauce, shaoxing rice wine, chicken bouillon powder, white pepper, cornstarch and sesame oil.
3) Half your zucchini lengthwise. Then cut into ½ inch pieces.
4) Cut your mushrooms into quarter pieces.
5) Mince garlic and ginger.
6) Flash fry or pan fry your chicken in hot oil. Break apart any chicken sticking together. Remove and set aside.
7) Blanch or stir-fry your mushroom and zucchini pieces until just cooked through. They should still have some bite. Remove and set aside.
8) Add oil to a hot wok/pan.
9) Add minced garlic and ginger.
10) Add chicken stock or water. This will serve as the base of the sauce.
11) Add light soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, sugar and chicken bouillon powder. Mix upon adding each seasoning.
12) Add slurry to thicken the sauce. The amount you add is dependent on how thick you'd like the sauce. The ratio to make a slurry is 1 tbsp cornstarch to 2 tbsp water.
13) Let the sauce reduce to your liking. Adjust seasonings to taste.
14) Add the cooked chicken, zucchini and mushrooms. Mix/toss everything.
15) Enjoy with some freshly steamed rice! Don't forget to like, comment, share and subscribe for more recipes!

Honestly, I think the Mushroom Chicken is the best entrée Panda Express makes at the moment.
It’s way better than the gummy Orange Chicken, and not as sugar coated as the Beijing Beef.

not a single piece of food fell. a KING.

I tried it as close to possible on the stove and it taste really good the recipe was helpful and so were all the steps

[Josh_Green]

Great technique! Also I'm jealous of your wok set up 😄
I make cashew chicken just like this with the zucchini. I'm going to try adding mushrooms next time.

Wow. Great wok skills (harder than it looks) and I am in awe of the great spider scoop... the whole pan in one go. I am feeding the family this for dinner. Bravo!

[tcgetsbored]

I'm blown away by how versatile these pans are. I cook almost exclusively in cast iron and this style would never work in my pans. Great channel!

[cillalovesfish]

Awesome wok skillz!
I gotta try this, looks so good!

[crazaholic]

Dang. That's one professional recipe right there. Looks yummy as hell.

[iamdee]

I liked this idea of one Pan in cooking

[namjignerak]

寬油, excellent wok range setup, you are the very few people who's putting their wokmanship on youtube. electrical range just doesn't cut for Chinese food.

[daisykuga]

It looks exactly like the one at Panda's. Thanks for sharing.

Made this tonight, and it was soo good! My 7 year old said it was better than Panda Express 😊 thank you!

[girlieascanocolocado]

Seem that you used to work at panda 🐼 all the stirring techniques seem like you mastered it from panda express.

[mrallan]

Did you make that outdoor wok burner or buy it? If you bought it, what was the brand/maker?

[tonimarr]

Try making it & it is a success!! Substitute Chinese cooking wine with sake.

[gatekeeper]

What's that strainer called, hunting one for years!
