INSTRUCTIONS
1. Chop the chicken into bite-size pieces. 2. In a large bowl combine the
soy sauce, sherry, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. 3. Place the chicken in
the bowl and marinate for 30 minutes. 4. Soak the mushrooms in water until
they are soft, or about 30 minutes, cut off and discard the tough stems,
then drain. 5. Slice the mushrooms thinly and set them aside with the
bamboo shoots, sugar, and chicken stock which will be added later all at
the same time.
Cooking: 1. Heat a wok or skillet over high heat until a drop of water
immediately sizzles into steam. 2. Add the oil, the remaining salt, and the
gingerroot. Stir for 30 seconds. 3. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 2
minutes. 4. Add the chicken stock, sugar, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots.
Stir until the sugar is dissolved. 5. Lower heat to medium. Cover and
simmer for 15 minutes. 6. Thicken sauce slightly with the cornstarch
mixture. Makes 4 to 8 servings.
