Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of the avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chopped chicken in a single layer and cook undisturbed 3–4 minutes to brown one side. Stir and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through, about 4–6 more minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon avocado oil and the 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil. Heat over medium-high.
Add the chopped shiitake mushrooms and sauté 3–5 minutes, until they begin to soften and brown.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and sauté about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the thinly sliced napa cabbage and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium.
In a small bowl, whisk the 2 large eggs. While the cabbage begins to soften, push the cabbage and mushroom mixture to one side of the skillet to create a clear space. Pour the whisked eggs into the clear space and scramble until just set, about 1–2 minutes. Transfer the scrambled eggs to the same plate as the cooked chicken.
In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/3 cup hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1/4 cup coconut aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce), and 2 tablespoons rice vinegar. Pour this sauce over the cabbage and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage reaches your desired tenderness, about 8–12 minutes.
Once the cabbage is cooked, stir in the drained 8 ounces canned bamboo shoots, the cooked chicken, the scrambled eggs, and the 4 green onions cut into 2-inch pieces. Cook 1–2 minutes more, stirring constantly, until everything is heated through and well combined.
Taste and adjust if needed (there are no additional ingredients to add). Serve the moo shu chicken mixture in bowls.
