Stir-fried pumpkin with black fungus and chicken

WoW!! It's a YUMMYLICIOUS  week of "The Golden Pumpkin!"  Another appetizing dish which I am going to share is the combination of pumpkin, black fungus and chicken meat. Anyone interested??


Ingredients:
150g pumpkin slices (1/2cm thick)
2 pieces black fungus (soaked, trim and cut into strips)
1 chicken thigh (deboned and cut into cubes)
3 garlic cloves (peeled and chopped)
Pinch of salt (to taste)
1 1/2 tbsp cooking oil
Water 

Marinade for chicken cubes
1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
dash of grounded white pepper
1 tbsp Shaoxing Wine
1/2 tsp corn flour

Methods:

  1. In a heated wok add cooking oil and saute chopped garlic for a few seconds.  Add the marinated chicken cubes and stir-fry until half cooked.  Then add the pumpkin cubes and wood fungus and continue to stir fry for a few minutes.
  2. Add in 1/4 cup of water, stir to mix and let it simmer.  Continue stirring to ensure even cooking of the pumpkin and chicken.  Taste for correct seasoning and add salt if needed.  If the dish dries up too fast add more water.
  3. Once the chicken and pumpkin are cooked through off the heat and dish up onto a plate.
  4. Ready to serve!
Notes: I serve it as a dish with rice for dinner accompanied with other dishes.
