A flavorful Chinese-inspired dish featuring tender chicken pieces cooked with crisp wood ear mushrooms, celery, and a savory garlic sauce, served with fluffy white rice for a perfect meal.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup wood ear mushrooms (rehydrated if dried)
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked white rice for serving
  • Chili sauce for dipping (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and chicken broth. Set aside.
  2. Dissolve the cornstarch in a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the sliced celery and wood ear mushrooms to the pan and stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  6. Pour in the prepared sauce and bring to a simmer. Add the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
  7. Serve the chicken and mushroom mixture over a bed of steamed white rice. Optionally, serve with chili sauce on the side for an added kick.

Notes

  • Soak dried wood ear mushrooms in warm water for 20-30 minutes before use.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic or chili sauce to your spice preference.
  • This dish also pairs well with brown rice or noodles.
