Early Look: Henry Kissinger's Moo Goo Gai Pan
🕑 Added 2025-03-31 05:35:47 +0000 UTCIn 1996, in the Frank Sinatra Celebrity cookbook, Henry Kissinger shared his recipe for Moo Goo Gai Pan (discovered by the internet in this Reddit post, AFAIK).
Continuing our annual 4/1 tradition of "make real content, albeit slightly sillier than usual", we decided to cook up said recipe. In the accompanying video, we'll give you our unvarnished opinion of the thing and analyze what Kissinger did right (and not so right).
And, of course, to give you some actual, true-blue cooking in the video, we'll also teach you my personal interpretation of Moo Goo Gai Pan as well.

LMAO, sillier. The actual content is so fun. I wonder if there really is a Kissenger Moo Goo Gai Pan. I remember a local Chinese Restaurant making King Moon Gai, a version of Moo Goo Gai Pan, only it had breaded chicken with ham in between and was deep fried with a fruit-filled green bell sweet and sour sauce. In fact, I've been spending years trying to remake that dish, King Moon Gai
