Ginger and Black Fungus Chicken

 

Ingredients: (serves 2)

1/2 skinless and boneless chicken breast (cut into strips)

1" ginger (peeled and cut into thin strips)

1/2 small onion (peeled and cut into chunks)

3 pieces dried black fungus (softened in water and cut into bite-size pieces)

1/2 tsp fermented soy beans (taucheo)

1/2 tsp. oyster sauce

1 tsp. sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)

1/2 tsp. sugar

1 tbsp. water

1 sprig spring onion (cut into 1" length) - I did not use

1 tbsp. cooking oil

Methods:

1. In a small bowl, add oyster sauce, sweet soy sauce, sugar and water, give it a good mix and set aside.
2. In a heated wok, add cooking oil.  Saute ginger until aromatic.  Add in the onion and black fungus and do a few quick stirs.
3. Add the fermented soy beans before adding the chicken strips into the wok.  Stir fry the chicken until the surface turns white.
4. Add in the mixed sauces and stir through all the ingredients.  Add the spring onion, if using; do a few quick stirs, dish out and serve hot with steamed rice.
