Stir-Fried Chicken with Mushrooms and Onions

Stir-fry is a simple tasty dish, and it is quick to prepare for dinner. Adding chicken, beef, pork, or Tofu is another way to dress up this dish. The only thing left to make this stir-fry dish is the stir-fry sauce. It is not hard to make the stir-fry sauce at home but does require some time to master the taste of it.

 Ingredients:
1/2 lb skinless, boneless chicken, sliced
1 tbs cooking wine,
1 tsp cornstarch
Vegetables
2 cups white onions, shredded
2 cups button mushrooms, sliced
Others:
2 tbs fresh ginger, shredded
1 clove garlic, minced
1 hot fresh hot chilli or 1 tsp chili flakes
3 green onions, cut into 2 inch lengths
Sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tbs soy sauce
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbs lime juice
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tbs cooking wine, such as dry sherry, Shaoxing wine
Serve with:
Cooked rice or quinoa
Enough oil for stir-frying

Directions:
Combine chicken with cooking wine and cornstarch in a bowl and let marinade for 30 minutes. Add 1 tbs oil before cooking (this will help to separate the chicken).
Combine sauce ingredients in another bowl and mix well.
Have all the vegetables ingredients ready before starting.
Warm the wok over medium-high heat. Heat oil and add ginger, garlic, and stir-fry briefly. Then add onions and chicken. Stir-fry until chicken changes color. Add mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes. Add sauce. Cook until thickened (about 2 minutes). Stir in green onions and serve.
