Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into strips
- 8 oz (225g) fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon white pepper (optional for extra heat)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water (for thickening)
- Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Start by slicing the chicken into thin strips, cleaning and slicing the mushrooms, and mincing the garlic. Keep everything ready for quick stir-frying.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced onions, cooking until fragrant and slightly translucent—about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the chicken strips to the pan, cooking until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the remaining oil if needed, then toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the mushrooms. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), black pepper, white pepper, and sugar. Mix well to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Thicken the sauce with the cornstarch-water mixture, stirring until the sauce is glossy and slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Notes
- Use fresh high-quality soy and oyster sauces for enhanced flavor.
- Adjust the amount of black pepper to suit your spice preference.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, extend the cornstarch mixture.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
