Ingredients
- 500 g chicken breast, cut into strips
- 8-10 dried shiitake mushrooms (soaked in water, rinsed and sliced)
- 2 large onions, cut into half rings
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 piece fresh ginger (about 2 cm), finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Optional: scallions (green onions) and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a medium bowl, mix the chicken with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, the sesame oil and the black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Prepare the mushrooms and onions: While the chicken marinates, squeeze the soaked shiitake dry, cut off the tough stems and slice the caps. Peel the onions and cut them into half rings.
- Brown the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and fry for 5-7 minutes until browned and almost cooked through. Take it out and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat the remaining oil in the same wok. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the onions and mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until the onions are soft and the mushrooms are golden.
- Combine: Return the chicken to the wok. Add the remaining soy sauce and the sugar. Stir well and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and coated in the sauce.
- Serve: Serve hot, garnished with chopped scallions and sesame seeds if you like.
