Steps:

• Mix together the marinade ingredients. Make 2 or 3 diagonal cuts on each side of the chicken thighs. Place the thighs in a large resealable plastic bag and add the marinade. (Use 2 bags and split the marinade in half if necessary.) Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 4 hours or longer, moving the bag occasionally to make sure all the thighs are coated in the marinade. Remove the chicken and reserve the marinade.
• While the chicken is marinating, soften the dried shiitake mushrooms by soaking in hot water for about 30 minutes. Squeeze out any excess water. Cut off the stems and cut the caps in half.
• In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until browned, turning over once. Add the onion and saute until softened (about 5 minutes). At the same time, you are browning the chicken and cooking the onions, bring the reserved marinade to boil in a small saucepan. Boil the marinade for 5 minutes.
• Add the marinade and the dried mushrooms to the chicken and onions. Season with salt and freshly ground black or white pepper if desired. Simmer, uncovered, on low heat for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, adding water if needed. Serve soy sauce chicken hot over steamed rice.
