Ingredients
- chicken breast — 250 g, sliced thin
- dried shiitake mushrooms — 6 pieces, soaked 10 minutes in hot water, sliced
- ginger — 4 slices, cut into thin strips
- light soy sauce — 1 tbsp
- oyster sauce — 1 tsp
- sesame oil — 1/2 tsp
- cornstarch — 1 tsp
- white pepper — 1/4 tsp
- scallions — 1 stalk, chopped
Steps (beginner-friendly)
- Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in hot water for 10 minutes until soft, then squeeze dry, remove stems, and slice.
- Slice the chicken breast into pieces about 0.5 cm thick so they cook through quickly.
Tip: Cornstarch is the secret: it locks in moisture so lean chicken breast stays tender instead of dry.
