How to Make Chicken In Soy Mushroom Sauce

Soak 1/2 cup dried mushrooms in 1/4 cup boiling water for 20 minutes.
Drain mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid.
Remove mushroom stems and thinly slice the caps.
In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice wine, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon grated ginger.
Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the marinade and coat thoroughly.
Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (longer is better).
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place a steamer basket that fits inside the pot.
Line the steamer basket with parchment paper.
Place the marinated chicken in the steamer basket, reserving the marinade.
Cover and steam for 6 minutes.
Flip the chicken and steam for another 6 minutes.
While the chicken steams, wash 1 bunch of bok choy thoroughly and slice it into quarters lengthwise.
After 12 minutes of steaming, add the bok choy to the steamer basket on top of the chicken.
Steam for an additional 3 minutes. Do not overcook.
In a small saucepan, combine the reserved marinade, mushroom soaking liquid, and sliced mushrooms.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of stock until smooth.
Add the cornstarch slurry and remaining stock to the saucepan.
Stir over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Serve the steamed chicken and bok choy over a bed of cooked rice.
Garnish with the mushrooms and drizzle generously with the sauce.
