Chicken in Chinese sauce
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. It is very popular all over the world. It's quick and easy to make, using chicken fillet as the base. The sauce is prepared separately, allowed to steep for a while, then added to the chicken and vegetables, which are then simmered in it. Shiitake mushrooms and chestnuts impart a special flavor and aroma to the dish, and all the ingredients together create a true taste sensation! Add the necessary spices and you'll get a classic Asian dish. The finished dish can be served at the table.

Step 1
1. Before starting the cooking process, you need to prepare a wok (ideally) or a frying pan with high sides. Additionally, you need to marinate the chicken fillet: cut the meat into strips (thin strips), place it into a bowl, pour in the egg, and add starch. Mix several times to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

6. Of course, this chicken should be served with a side dish, and rice is perfect for this purpose. Cook the rice until done, serve it in portions, place the chicken with mushrooms on top, and generously pour the sauce over it.
