1. Marinate chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better).
2. Stir-fry chicken: Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
3. Sauté garlic and mushrooms: Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until tender.
4. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water or broth.
5. Combine and simmer: Return the chicken to the pan. Pour the sauce over the chicken and mushrooms. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in the black pepper.
6. Serve: Serve hot over rice or noodles.
Tips and Variations:
– For a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of sesame oil.
– If you like a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
– Other vegetables such as onions or bell peppers can be added along with the mushrooms.
– Adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce to your taste preferences.
