Ingredients
  

Stir-Fry
  • 1 pound chicken thighs sliced
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 cups mushrooms sliced
  • 1 zucchini sliced
Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Equipment

  • Wok or skillet

Method
 

  1. Whisk the sauce ingredients together.
  2. Heat the oil in a wok over high heat and stir-fry the chicken until browned and cooked through, then remove.
  3. Add the mushrooms and zucchini and stir-fry 3 minutes until just tender.
  4. Return the chicken, pour in the sauce, and toss 1-2 minutes until glossy.
  5. Serve hot over rice.

Notes

This is one of Panda's lighter dishes - a simple soy-ginger sauce lets the mushrooms and chicken shine. Do not overcook the zucchini.
