moo goo gai pan
Chicken-mushroom dish
Moo goo gai pan is a Chinese-American dish consisting of sliced chicken breast stir-fried with mushrooms and other vegetables in a light white sauce.
The name derives from Cantonese words for mushrooms, chicken, and slices.
It became a staple of American Chinese restaurant menus in the mid-twentieth century, prized for its mild flavor and simple preparation.
