Sesame Chicken with Shiitake Mushrooms

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless), sliced into thin strips
• 8-10 shiitake mushrooms, soaked and sliced
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon raw honey 
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon arrowroot (optional, for thickening)
• Spring onions, thinly sliced for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix together the sesame oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, honey or brown sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
2. Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 20 minutes, or refrigerate for a few hours for better flavor.
3. Heat a wok or large pan over medium heat and add a little oil.
4. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
5. Add the shiitake mushrooms and continue stir-frying for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
6. If desired, mix the cornstarch with a little water to form a slurry and add it to the pan to thicken the sauce. Stir well to combine.
7. Cook for another minute until the sauce thickens.
8. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced spring onions.
9. Serve the sesame chicken with shiitake mushrooms hot with steamed rice or quinoa.
