Author's Notes

Use dried shiitake mushrooms for this dish as it plays a significant role in giving the Unami flavor to the dish. Shiitake mushrooms develop a unique flavor when dried compared to fresh shiitake mushrooms.
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Transfer Dried Shiitake Mushrooms (3) and Wood Ear Mushrooms (1) into separate bowls filled with water and soak for about 2 hours to make sure they are fully rehydrated. Squeeze excess water from soaked mushrooms and cut into long slices about 1/4-inch thick and set aside.
step 2
Deep fry the Garlic (4 cloves) in Cooking Oil (1 Tbsp) till golden brown. Pour the golden crisp garlic and garlic oil into a bowl and set aside for later use.
step 3
Transfer the Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs (1.1 lb) into a mixing bowl and add in Oyster Sauce (1 Tbsp), Light Soy Sauce (1 Tbsp), Sesame Oil (1 tsp), Shaoxing Cooking Wine (1 tsp), and Corn Starch (1 tsp). Mix well.
step 4
Cover with cling wrap and leave to marinate for at least an hour or even overnight in the refrigerator.
step 5
Once you are ready to cook the dish, make sure the marinated chicken is at room temperature. Add the Fresh Ginger (1 1/2 Tbsp), hydrated wood ears, and mushroom strips into the marinated chicken.
step 6
Lastly, spoon in mushroom liquid and stir to mix everything together.
step 7
Arrange the chicken meat mixture in a single layer on a steaming plate. Place the steaming plate in a steamer and steam over medium heat for 15-20 minutes until the chicken meat is cooked through.
step 8
