Bear in mind that this will BLOW your sodium for the day, but less so than Restaurant Chinese.

I adapted it from Clean Eating Magazine. Makes four servings of just under two cups each.

3 tbs water
2 tbsp low sodium soy
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp toasted sesame oil (I used "chili oil")
1/3 c hoisin sauce
1 clove garlic, minced or 1/4 tsp bottled minced garlic

1 lb chicken breast, sliced very thinly
1 tbs cooking oil (I used peanut)
2 bags (around 6 cups) shredded cabbage w/ carrots (bagged coleslaw mix)

Mix water, soy, cornstarch, sesame oil, hoisin sauce and garlic in small mixing bowl, set aside.

Heat oil in wok or large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, stir fry until no longer pink (3-4 minutes) Push chicken to sides of skillet and pour sauce into the middle, then stir to coat chicken. Cook and stir for 2-3 more minutes. Add cole slaw mix to skillet stir, and cover. Allow to cook for around 3 more minutes.

Serve over brown rice or with tortilla-style wraps (I used brown rice tortillas.)

I entered it in foods as "Clean Eating Moo Shoo Chicken", if you want to see the numbers.
