Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 oz Fresh mushrooms sliced
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tsp Ginger grated
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil for stir-frying
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch until cornstarch is dissolved.
- Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken pieces to the wok and stir-fry until browned on all sides and almost cooked through.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the wok. Stir constantly as the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the sesame oil. Cook for another minute until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce coats everything.
- Serve immediately over steamed rice.
Notes
For a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic and ginger. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed white or brown rice.
