Title: Mu Shu Chicken Categories: Cooking liv, Import Yield: 1 Servings 1/2 lb Boneless skinless chicken -thighs 1 ts Cornstarch 2 tb Plus 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce 2 1/2 tb Medium dry sherry 2 lg Eggs 1/4 ts Salt 1/2 lb Piece jicama 3 Scallions 4 Flour tortillas 5 tb Vegetable oil Cut chicken into 1/4-inch thick strips and in a shallow baking dish stir together cornstarch, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon Sherry until combined well. Add chicken to marinade and toss to coat well. Marinate chicken, covered, at room temperature 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce, and salt. Peel jicama and cut into sticks about 3-inches long and 1/4-inch thick. Cut scallions into pieces about 1 1/2-inches long and halve white pieces lengthwise. Wrap tortillas in a sheet of foil and heat in oven until hot, about 8 minutes. While tortillas are heating, heat a 8 to 10-inch heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, over moderately high heat until a bead of water dropped on cooking surface evaporates immediately. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, swirling skillet to coat evenly, and heat until hot but not smoking. Stir fry eggs until just cooked through but not browned, about 10 seconds. Transfer eggs to a bowl and break up into bite size pieces. Carefully wipe out skillet with paper towels. In the skillet heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Stir fry jicama 30 seconds and add 1 tablespoon Sherry. Add scallions and stir fry 10 seconds, or until jicama is crisp-tender. Add vegetables to eggs. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet and heat until hot but not smoking. Stir fry chicken with marinade 1 minute, or until just cook through. Add vegetable mixture with remaining tablespoons soy sauce and remaining 1/2 tablespoon Sherry and stir fry until heated through. Divide chicken mixture between 2 plates and serve with tortillas for wrapping.
