Mushroom And Chicken Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Slice 400 gm chicken breast into ⅛ inch thick slices.
• STEP 2.Add ½ tsp salt, ½ tbsp soy sauce ,½ tbsp oyster sauce, ½ tbsp chinese cooking wine, ¼ tsp baking soda to tenderize the meat and a drizzle of sesame oil.
• STEP 3.Mix well together to fully coat all the chicken. Cover and marinate for 20 minutes.
• STEP 4.Slice 200 gm white button mushroom into quarter inch thick pieces.
• STEP 5.String 85 gms snow peas and keep aside.
• STEP 6.To make carrot flower slices, peel a carrot and make a 45 degree cut along the length. And then again on the opposite side to complete a small ‘V’ shaped groove.Remove the thin strip of flesh. Do this around the carrot 4 times to make 4 petal shapes. Then thinly slice the carrot. Prepare 85 gm of carrot slices.
• STEP 7.Heat the wok on high heat till it is smoking hot.Then add 2 ½ tbsp oil and swirl the oil around the wok to cover the entire hot surface.Wait for the oil to smoke.
• STEP 8.Then add the marinated chicken. Because the wok is hot the chicken will cook in a few minutes. Do not over-stir the chicken else it will dry out. Once the chicken changes colour, take the wok off the heat to avoid over cooking the chicken.
• STEP 9.Remove the chicken from the wok by tilting the wok away from the chicken so that the oil will drain away to the side of the wok.
• STEP 10.Put the wok back on the heat and in the same oil add the sliced carrots. Cook till carrots reach the desired texture. Do not cook them too soft.
• STEP 11.Then add 4 cloves minced garlic along with the sliced mushrooms and snow peas.
• STEP 12.Sit and cook on medium heat to avoid burning the garlic. If the wok turns dry, add a splash of water.
• STEP 13.Once all the vegetables have turned a little soft, but are still firm, add 1 tbsp soy sauce and ½ tbsp oyster sauce. Mix well. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly.
• STEP 14.Then introduce the chicken back into the wok. Stir well to combine all the flavours and turn off the heat.
• STEP 15.Mushroom and chicken is ready.
