  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (optional for richer color)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper (for extra heat)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional for added umami)

Instructions

  1. Sauté garlic and onions in hot oil until fragrant and onions are translucent.
