Mushroom Chicken Stir Fry

Mushroom Chicken Stir Fry

This savory **Shiitake Mushroom and Chicken Stir-Fry** is a quick, flavorful dish perfect for a weeknight dinner. Tender chicken breast pairs beautifully with umami-rich shiitake mushrooms, enhanced by aromatic ginger and a smoky-sweet barbecue glaze. The key to its deep flavor? Soaking dried shiitakes overnight for an extra-rich taste, though fresh mushrooms work too. Juicy chicken is stir-fried in its own natural oils (no extra fat needed!), then combined with mushrooms and a simple yet bold sauce of barbecue, water, and a hint of black pepper for a touch of spice. Ready in minutes, this dish delivers restaurant-quality taste with minimal effort—ideal for busy evenings. Serve over rice or noodles for a satisfying meal that’s both wholesome and delicious!

200g
🥩
dried shiitake mushrooms
15g

water
2 tbsp

1/4 tsp

Instructions

1. Step 1

Step 1
Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in boiling water overnight and use them the next afternoon after school. This step can be omitted if using fresh mushrooms.

2. Step 2

Cut chicken breast into small pieces, about the size of a middle finger nail. Slice ginger into thin strips.

3. Step 3

Heat a pot, add a small amount of oil. After the oil is hot, add ginger strips and stir-fry for a while, then add shiitake mushrooms. Stir-fry until the mushrooms look cooked, then remove from the pot.

4. Step 4

Directly add chicken to the pot, as the chicken itself has oil, no need to add more (using a non-stick pan, if using a sticky pan, add a little oil). Stir-fry until the chicken changes color, then add the stir-fried mushrooms.

5. Step 5

Add barbecue sauce, two spoonfuls of water, and stir-fry until the chicken is colored.

6. Step 6

According to personal taste, add a little black pepper powder, stir-fry briefly to mix, then remove from the pot. (This step can be omitted for those who do not like black pepper.)
