  • 1 tsp Chinese rice wine or sherry
  • 1 tsp coy sauce and cornstarch
  • A few grain of pepper
  • 2 dried large Chinese mushrooms, soaked in water and drained. Cut into strips.

  2. Heat 3 tbsp of the oil in a wok, and stir-fry the chicken briefly. Remove.
  3. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil and add the salt. Stir fry the vegetables, then mix in the chicken. Turn off the heat and let the filling cool thoroughly.
