I love mushrooms for as long as I can remember, even when I was a little kid. I love mushrooms of all sorts, shiitake, button, enoki, straw mushrooms—canned or fresh.

Steamed Chicken in Lotus Leaf
I have always loved sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf (荷叶饭), commonly available at Cantonese dim sum restaurants. I love the earthy aroma lotus leaves impart to the dish, and most of all, I love it that the leaves retain the moisture and natural flavors of the ingredients. The leafy nuance and fragrance complement and not compete with the preparation….

Oh man I know exactly what you mean. There are days that I end up getting full off of potato chips because I do exactly that, open the fridge, shy away from my items and then go ponder what I want to cook. It’s a crazy world for us home cookers eh?
Is there a substitute for the Shaoxing wine? I seem to have everything except that 1 teaspoon of wine! Love the simplicity.
Medium dry Sherry.

What is Zucchini?

Zucchini is Italian squash.
Courgette.
Oh man thanks for the recipe. One serving of this is going to last me 3-4 meals and atleast two trips to ranch 99 :) Thanks!!!
Wu – haha, you are so funny. Yes, I always order mushroom chicken from Ranch 99!
I’ve had success from time to time replacing Shaoxing wine with brandy. Shaoxing wine isn’t too hard to find though, and in some cases, you could even try asking your local Chinese restaurant if they’ll sell you a bottle. It’s a big tall brown bottle with a red label around it, at least the ones I’ve used look like this.
You can use dry sherry in place of Shaoxing wine. Good luck.

Your mushroom chicken recipe is amazing! I tried it out last night for dinner and I’m so glad I did and so sad I didn’t find this recipe long before.
Just made this recipe for dinner tonight. Though I’m a real novice stir-fryer, your recipe was so easy to follow that it turned out great. It was super delicious! It is one of the best Asian meals I have made so far, and definitely one of the quickest and easiest too. I can’t wait to try my hand at more of your great recipes!
I cooked this the other day and it was delicious… Thanks for the recipe.. I added soy sauce to marinate the chicken to give a little color..
That’s a great idea.
I made this dish last night, and it was delicious. Thanks for the quick and easy recipe!
I didn’t have a wok, so I used my 12″ cast iron skillet instead.
You can watch the video of my cook on my site: http://albums.phanfare.com/isolated/pquvc9jX/1/4819660
Can I just use a cooking sherry wine instead of medium dry sherry? honestly,I dont have any idea of what that medium dry sherry is and what I got on my pantry..Will there be a difference on the taste?
Thank you and God Bless!!
Yes, or you can skip it.
Thank You So Much!!!
I know exactly what you meant because I am having it right now.. Thank you for your website.. at least I have an idea what to cook..
Tried it today without the zucchini it was soooo good! I used chicken drumsticks instead worked perfectly :) Thanks for the recipe!
How many people does this recipe serve? Thanks!
I know how you feel about cooking. Sometimes, you are just not in the mood and lack complete motivation (today is one of those days for me lol).
I love this recipe. In fact, I referred to it in my post about my love for zucchini!

I just made this for lunch and it’s very tasty. I added a tad of dark soy at the end for color. No more takeout for me of this dish. Thanks Bee! I also bought your cookbook and tried several recipes all successful just as described — and looking forward to the second one I hope soon :-)
More power to you. I really appreciate that most of your dishes are in small servings (2-3)
