Chicken with Mushrooms
This is a simple quick meal to prepare a great one if your late in from work or you don’t want to fuss and you end up with a great tasting meal in the end. I served this along with other Asian dishes we also had vegetable fried rice and ribs. If making as is it would well with just planes steamed rice or what I think is nicer is egg fried rice, but take your pick. I usually top with sliced green onions but I had used them all and hadn’t realised so I have listed it in the ingredients below anyway.

Ingredients

2 Tablespoon peanut oil
4 Chicken breast, cut into strips
3 Shallots, halved and sliced thinly
2 Cloves garlic, crushed
150g Mushrooms quartered
3 Tablespoons oyster sauce
2 Teaspoons soy sauce
1 Teaspoon sesame oil
50ml Water
2 Teaspoons sugar
2 Green onions, sliced thinly

Method

1. Heat peanut oil in a wok, add chicken and cook until chicken is brown, remove and set to one side.

2. Add sesame oil to pan, add shallots, mushrooms and garlic stir-fry for a couple of minutes.

3. Return chicken to pan along with sauces, water and sugar, stir-fry until mushrooms are soft and everything is heated through.

It is nice served over egg fried rice.
