How to Make Refreshing Ginger Chicken With Spinach Mushrooms

  1. Whisk together 3 tablespoons fish sauce, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, and 3 tablespoons brown sugar in a small bowl. Set aside. (Reduce to 2 tablespoons of each if salt-sensitive).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces) and 2 cloves minced garlic. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until chicken is lightly browned.
  4. Pour the reserved sauce over the chicken and cook, stirring constantly, until it simmers and slightly thickens (about 2 minutes).
  5. Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped habanero pepper (optional, or use less for less heat), and 1/4 cup vegetable broth.
  6. Simmer for 5-6 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender.
  7. Stir in 5 ounces fresh spinach and cook for another 2 minutes, or until spinach is wilted.
  8. Serve hot over cooked brown rice. Garnish with chopped green onions, shredded carrots, and fresh cilantro.
