Recipe: Moo Shu Chicken ๐
Description: Sounds cool, right? I loved the name, though I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, especially after the great stuff I heard after making mango chicken. Arggh! Anyways, hope you enjoy it! It is from the “Weekend” magazine. It is said to be a great “busy” family dinner. It’s easy, fast, fun, and the flavors are great. You can substitute all or half of the chicken with tofu (bean curd). Serve this with steamed broccoli and brown rice for a filling delicious dinner.
