Stir-fry Enoki Mushrooms AKA 炒金针菇

Enoki Mushrooms are crunchy and mildly fruity, without the earthy flavor of other mushrooms.

Medicinal Benefits: These mushrooms can fight liver disease and gastroenteric ulcers. Plus, they're anti-tumor, antibiotic and good for the immune system. (courtesy of Sixwise.com)


Ingredients
1 packet of enoki mushrooms (roots trimmed off)
50g of chicken fillet (cut into thin strips, about 3" long and 1/2 cm wide)
1/3 of a carrot (cut into thin strips, about 3" long and 1/2 cm wide)
3 chinese mushrooms (pre-soaked and cut into thin strips, about 1/2 cm wide)
(I used 3 because mine are small in size. If yours are the larger ones, 1-2 should be sufficient)
1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon of sugar
1/2 cap of shaoxing wine
Sesame oil to taste

Preparation
Stir fry the chicken over medium low heat in an oiled pan.
Add in the chinese mushrooms and carrots when the chicken is half-cooked.
Cook for a minute or so before adding in the enoki mushrooms.
Stir well.
Mix oyster sauce, sugar and around 1/3 cup of water together.
Pour into the pan and bring everything to a boil.
Add shaoxing wine and a few drops of sesame oil before turning off the heat.
Mix well and serve hot.
