🍄 【Ingredients】
Chicken breast: 1 (cut into bite-sized cubes)
Fresh button mushrooms: Sliced thickly
Aromatics: Minced garlic (plenty!), chopped scallions
Chicken marinade: Light soy sauce, cooking wine, black pepper, a little cornstarch + olive oil (this is the key to keeping it tender and not dry!)
🔥 【Step-by-Step】
1️⃣ Marinate for flavor: Cut the chicken breast into cubes, add the marinade ingredients, mix well, and let it sit for 15 minutes. This step locks in moisture, making the meat as tender as jelly!
2️⃣ Sear the mushrooms: Add a little olive oil to the pan, then add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté over medium-low heat until they release a bit of water and turn golden brown and fragrant. This is when their umami flavor is at its peak. Remove and set aside.
3️⃣ Quickly stir-fry the chicken: In the same pan, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the chicken breast and stir-fry over high heat until it changes color and is just cooked through, with slight browning on the edges.
4️⃣ Combine and season: Return the mushrooms to the pan. Add 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, half a tablespoon of oyster sauce, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir-fry vigorously over high heat to ensure every piece is coated in the savory sauce.
5️⃣ Serve: Finally, sprinkle with a generous handful of chopped scallions. Done!
