You marinate chicken strips in soy sauce and sesame oil and stir-fry them in a wok with shiitake, onions and ginger. The mushrooms taste earthy, and the onions caramelize lightly and add sweetness.Serve with rice.
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken breast fillet, cut into strips
- 8-10 dried shiitake mushrooms (soak in water, rinse and slice)
- 2 large onions, cut into half rings
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 piece of fresh ginger (about 2 cm), finely chopped
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- Optional: scallions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a medium bowl, mix the chicken with 1 tbsp soy sauce, the sesame oil and black pepper. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Prepare the mushrooms and onions: While the chicken marinates, squeeze out the soaked shiitake, remove the tough stems and slice the caps. Peel the onions and cut them into half rings.
- Sear the chicken: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and fry for 5-7 minutes, until browned and almost cooked through. Take it out of the pan and set aside.
- Saute the vegetables: Heat the remaining oil in the same wok. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the onions and mushrooms and fry for 5-7 minutes, until the onions are soft and the mushrooms are golden brown.
- Combine: Return the fried chicken to the wok. Add the remaining soy sauce and the sugar. Stir well and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the flavors have blended.
- Serve: Serve hot, garnished with chopped scallions and sesame seeds if using.
