Chicken with mushrooms in soy sauce
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. It can be served with a side of rice (the most popular Asian side dish) or as a standalone dish. Use any chicken parts: thighs or drumsticks are best, as they are not as dry as fillet. Before serving, garnish with green onions. The dish is now ready to be served.
