Ingredients
- 12-to-15 dried Kennett’s shiitake mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 2-inch piece of fresh ginger grated
- 2 large chicken breasts pounded and cut into strips
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
- 1/4 cup reserved liquid from soaking mushrooms or chicken broth
- 1 green onion/spring onion sliced into rounds
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions
-
In a small bowl, soak the mushrooms in warm water for 20 minutes or until they become tender.
-
Remove the mushrooms from the water with a slotted spoon & squeeze to remove any excess liquid. Reserve about a 1/4 of the liquid and set aside. I like to keep the mushrooms whole, but if they are too large, you can slice them.
-
Heat a wok over medium-high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the heated wok. Add the garlic and ginger to the hot oil. Stir-fry until about 30 seconds.
-
Add the chicken and stir-fry about a minute.
-
Add the mushrooms and stir-fry another 2 or 3 minutes.
-
Add the oyster sauce, dark & light soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, and the reserved mushroom liquid. Bring to a boil and stir-fry until the mushrooms are coated and the sauce has thickened (another 2 or three minutes).
-
Stir in the green onion.
-
Serve immediately with fried rice or side of your choice.
