Sticky Oyster Sauce Chicken<\/strong>, and I decided to embrace my Asian cooking heritage and go with it instead. LOL \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\nIt turns out that this is very easy and easily modified, and for those of us living here in Asia, the taste will be familiar, and the ingredients easy to obtain.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The recipe on The Woks of Life calls for a more sticky coating of sauce on the chicken, and scallions (spring onions). I opted to make mine a little more liquid so I could use it over rice or blanched noodles, and I also added some shimeji mushrooms I had in the fridge.<\/p>\n
I did not have any spring onions and was too lazy to go out and buy them, so I omitted them. If you’d like a slightly different flavour, a few sprigs of coriander does add a little piquancy to the sauce, and it makes for a nice garnish \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I think it turned out delicious, and it took just a little over half an hour from preparation time to serving. I kid you not!<\/p>\n
I do find this a little salty due to the soy sauce, oyster sauce and shaoxing wine, so I think this will be best served over hot rice with blanched or stir-fried green vegetables (sawi, bok choy etc) on the side. It’s not something you can eat on its own. I didn’t want to cook rice, so I cooked some soy noodles and blanched some vegetables, then used the sauce to toss through and flavour the noodles, and it made for a quick and easy meal.<\/p>\n
I think you can also substitute the chicken legs with chicken fillets if you are averse to eating chicken on the bone (which I prefer) but do note the cooking time will be significantly shortened.<\/p>\n
One more note on the mushrooms. I used Shimeji mushrooms as that’s what I had. I find the flavour of shimeji mushrooms a little light, and it soaks up the sauce and gives it a lovely flavour. You could use other types of mushrooms, but do note that stronger tasting mushrooms like shiitake will add a stronger flavour. I’d stick to something light – shimeji or enoki will work.<\/p>\n
So here’s my version of Oyster Sauce Chicken with Mushrooms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
