This is a chicken dish that we always prepare at home when nothing special comes in mind — The Stir Fried Ginger Chicken with Mushroom. We cook it so often because the ingredients are easily accessible at home but we never thought of putting it on the blog. However this is a delicious chicken dish yet easy to prepare for home cooking in which I would like to share with everyone.

We basically love this dish as it is prepared using lots of ginger and wine seasoning. This makes the dish smell so nice and fragrant. The chicken is cooked with a thick soy sauce base again makes it even tastier. I don’t usually do measurement on this dish, so you can adjust based on your desired taste.  Serve great with white rice.

Ingredients:
1 chicken breast (cut into pieces)
1 leg quarter (cut into pieces)
8 mushrooms (soaked in a small bowl with hot water, save the water for seasoning, cut mushroom into strips)
2″ ginger  (cut into fine strips)
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine
1 tbsp cornstarch

For the Seasoning:
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp rice wine
1 tsp sugar
1/2 cup Mushroom water
2 tsp cornstarch (dissolve in 2 tsp water)
Few dashes Pepper
Few drips sesame oil

Serve for 4-6 people

Cooking Method:

1. Marinate the chicken pieces with soy sauce and rice wine for up to 30 minutes.
2. Heat up a wok or pan with 2 tbsp oil on medium, stir fry minced garlic til almost golden, then stri fry ginger strips till golden with fragrant.
3. Turn to high heat, add in chicken pieces and stir fry till brown.
4. Add in seasoning sauce of oyster sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, mushroom water,  stir and combine well.  Cook for 5  minutes till the sauce is reduced half.
