Stir-fried Chicken with Mushrooms
A piece of chicken breast in the kitchen can have endless possibilities after cooking. Today I use white mushrooms and chicken breast. I also use a lot of garlic, so this dish has a strong garlic flavor. We will give the chicken breast a simple slippery-coating marinade before cooking. First, add salt and stir well. This makes the chicken breast sticky, then we add dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and oyster sauce, which gives the chicken breast a darker color and savory taste. You can decide the amount of seasoning according to your taste. Finally, add starch, which gives the slippery coat to keep the meat tender and juicy, and thickens the sauce in the later stage of cooking.
