My Version of Hot and Spicy Mushroom Chicken(Chines-Indian-Malay Fusion)

Here is yet another easy and yummy dish. I had leftover of 2 cans of mushrooms, a mixture of button and straw mushroom, and packet of beautiful, fresh oyster mushroom. There and then, I decided to make mushrooms the star of my dish.


You see, for our Indian taste buds, this is dish is rather bland, so I try to make it more interesting or Indian-friendly by adding a "kick" of chili. Feel free to omit them if you wish to.


Mushroom Chicken Recipe Ingredients:
Chicken
Various types of mushrooms
Potatoes
Birds-eye chili
Red Chili
Corn Flour
Marinate the chicken in :
Oyster Sauce
Black Pepper
Thick Soya Sauce
Ginger-Garlic Paste
Some salt


Method:
Marinate the chicken with wine and corn starch. Set aside for 15 minutes. Mix the sauce ingredients and set aside.
Heat up a wok and and put in the marinated chicken pieces. When you marinate the chicken, make sure you have enough liquid for the chicken to cook in. Add in your potatoes too. Simmer the chicken pieces until half cooked and add on your mushroom. Keep it cooking until potatoes are cooked.

Once cooked, add in bird-eye chillies, red chillies and a little corn flour to thicken the gravy. Once you get the consistency that you require, take it off the fire.
 Dish out and serve immediately.
