Moo Shu Chicken
"Sounds cool, right? I loved the name, though I havent had a chance to try it yet, especially after the great stuff I heard after making mango chicken. Arggh :) Anyways, hope u enjoy it! It is from the "Weekend" magazine. It is said to be a great "busy" family dinner. Its easy, fast, fun and the flavours 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."

Not a bad starter receipe. I shredded the chicken instead of leaving in thick strips. I also added a prepackaged sauce. (I was trying for something similar to a resturant I like.) I think next time I'm going to add things like bamboo and bean sprout.
