I’ve decided to do another food post today, LOL. Somehow, I like my blog to look more colorful (with food that is) whenever a visitor is to visit my blog. Please bear with me, ok? Anyway, back to the dish.

It’s a relatively simple-to-prepare dish. This is one of my ‘quickie dish’ whenever I am rushing for time.

What do you need:

  • 600 gms of chicken meat
  • 5-6 pieces of raw mushrooms
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 30-50 gms of ginger
  • 3 tablespoons of light soya sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of thick soya sauce
  • 2 pinches of sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of cooking oil
  • 3/4 bowl of water (small bowl)

Method of preparation:

Cut the chicken meat into small pieces. The size of the meat is up to individual’s preference.

Next, scrape off the external layer of the ginger. Cut the ginger into small pieces and later, have them cut into strips. For the garlic, have them cut into thin slices.

After that, have the mushrooms cut into slices of preferred thickness.

When all the ingredients are ready, start by oiling your frying pan / wok with the cooking oil over a medium flame. When the oil starts to heat up, put in the garlic and fry those for a short while till they start developing a light shade of brown. At this point, add in the ginger and fry them together with the garlic. Keep frying till you can smell the fragrance of the ginger and garlic combo.

Next, put in the chicken meat and continue frying. Turn the chicken meat thoroughly till all of them are cooked. After that, add in the light soya sauce and thick soya sauce. Stir fry the content and ensure that all of the chicken meat are covered with the sauces. At this point, pour in the water and let the mixture to boil. When the water starts to boil, add in 2 pinches of sugar and stir fry the mixture. After that, leave the mixture to boil for 2-3 minutes. This is to allow more sauce to be absorbed into the chicken.

After that, you can start lifting the mixture off the frying pan / wok and serve.

Have fun trying ;) By the way, you can replace the cooking oil with sesame seed oil. It will further enhance the fragrance of the dish but it will be a little heaty.

    looks very nice.
    i’ll try it next time when i have the chance.
    but don’t you need to let it simmer longer? the longer the better right?
    so i dont think i’ll cook this when i am in a rush.

    blurryleo: { yep calvaryzone, actually the longer you simmer, the better. that’s given that you have the time. it will allow more sauce to be absorbed into the chicken. but when you have short time frame available, this is a pretty good dish :) }
