How to Make Cantonese Chicken And Mushrooms

  1. In a bowl, toss 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces, with 2 tablespoons oyster sauce.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 3 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
  3. Place both bowls near the stove along with all other prepared ingredients.
  4. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons peanut oil.
  5. Add 2 scallions (white and light green parts only), thinly sliced; 1 inch ginger, minced; and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Stir-fry for 20 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add the chicken mixture and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink.
  7. Add 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced; and 1 bunch bok choy, chopped. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.
  8. Pour in ½ cup chicken broth and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  9. Gradually whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy (about 2-3 minutes).
  10. Serve hot over steamed rice. Garnish with remaining scallions (green parts, thinly sliced) if desired.
