Chinese Fried Chicken With Mushrooms Recipes

CHINESE MUSHROOM CHICKEN STIR FRY

Steps:

• Combine chicken and all the marinade ingredients in a big bowl. Stir to mix well. Let marinate for 15 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
• Combine all the sauce ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Stir to mix well.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Spread the chicken in the skillet in a single layer. Sear until the bottom turns golden without moving it, 1 minute or so. Stir and flip to cook the other side, until turns golden, another minute or so. Transfer the cooked chicken pieces to a big plate and set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the mushrooms. Cook and stir until the mushrooms are cooked through and the liquid evaporated.
• Add the bamboo shoots, garlic, ginger, and onion. Drizzle with a bit more oil if the pan looks dry. Stir and cook for a minute.
• Stir the sauce again to thoroughly dissolve the cornstarch and pour it into the pan. Stir a few times until the sauce thickens.
• Add the chicken back into the skillet. Stir to coat everything well with the sauce. Immediately transfer everything to a big plate.
• Serve hot over steamed rice as a main dish.

CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND CHINESE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook until browned and crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 5 more minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Wipe out the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned around the edges, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk 3/4 cup water, the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger in a small bowl. Return the chicken skin-side up to the skillet; add the oyster sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is slightly reduced, about 7 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Stir in the scallions.
• Divide the chicken and sauce among plates. Serve with rice.
