My moo shu chicken is a hybrid version of Chinese/Taiwanese/American-Chinese dish. It’s a texture food that’s a bit crunchy and slightly woody but nothing too distinct that will affect a dish’s flavor if you don’t use it. If you happen to have them, here are some recipes that can help you use them – my Chinese hot and sour soup, Chinese chicken soup, Chinese bone broth, shiitake with bok choy stir-fry, or chicken cabbage and shiitake soup. Here are some more side dish suggestions if you want extra vegetables on the side – Bok choy salad, Asian chopped salad, Chinese broccoli in garlic sauce, Sauteed snow pea leaves in garlic sauce, or Chinese mustard greens in ginger sauce.

Use the hoisin sauce for your favorite mandarin pancakes, BBQ dipping sauce, or stir-fries for a sweet, tangy, and intensely-flavored savory deliciousness. However, growing up in Taiwan I’ve had my fair share of dishes made with or accompanied by hoisin sauce – Beijing duck with mandarin pancakes and steamed seafood platters with hoisin sauce served on the side. Some people compare it to American-style bbq sauce, but hoisin is a predominantly soy-flavored thick sauce that’s much saltier and sweeter than the regular soy sauce and with a little hint of tangy flavor. There is no seafood in hoisin sauce despite the name Hoisin or Hǎi Xiān (海鮮)

Juicy and flavorful cubed chicken breasts with intensely flavored black pepper sauce…you’ll want to drizzle it on everything! say if I remember how the dish tasted but the black pepper sauce vaguely reminded me of a sauce that we would use in steak houses in Taiwan. Most pepper chicken recipes use oyster sauce, if you happen to have a bottle of my homemade vegetarian oyster sauce, you can use that to replace coconut aminos in the sauce. Chinese broccoli in garlic sauce, Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce (vegetarian), Sauteed snow pea leaves, Chinese mustard greens, Baby bok choy salad, Chinese cabbage stir-fry, Taiwanese cabbage stir-fry, or Lemon
