A great recipe and it comes together very quickly! Only minor change I made was using stock instead of water and added a bit more than the 1/4 cup called for since it was thickening up a bit more than I preferred. Thanks for sharing!

This was "right on" for Moo Goo Gai Pan!! Reminded me of Chinese takeout!! Loved the way the way the onions mellowed out, the way the bell pepper blended so nicely, and it went together so FAST!! Not hard at all!! I didn't use bamboo shoots (personal choice). The only thing was the amount of pepper needs to be reduced for our taste. Thank You!! Made for Unrated Asian Tag,2009.
