The soaking liquid of the dried shiitake mushrooms (black mushrooms) gives this quick and light Chinese-style dish a rich flavour.
Ingredients
- 12 dried shiitake mushrooms
- 2 chickens breasts
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 3 carrots, diced
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) oyster sauce
- 1 head iceberg or Boston lettuce
- Salt, pepper and sesame oil
Preparation
Soak mushrooms in ¾ cup (175 mL) water until soft, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving ½ cup (125 mL) of the soaking liquid; dice mushrooms. Cut chicken into ½-inch (1 cm) dice; mix with ¼ tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper.
In nonstick skillet, heat 2 tsp (10 mL) oil over high heat; add green onions and fry for 10 seconds. Add chicken and sauté until no longer pink outside, about 2 minutes; transfer to bowl.
Add 1 tsp (5 mL) oil to pan; add mushrooms and carrots. Sauté until lightly browned, about 3 minutes; stir in mushroom soaking liquid and oyster sauce.
Add chicken mixture; cook until sauce is thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 1 tsp (5 mL) oil; remove from heat. Serve with lettuce leaves to wrap around spoonfuls of chicken mixture.
