Ching makes a stir-fried dish that can also be made with pork. Use chestnut mushrooms if you can't find the wood ear mushrooms used in the dish
Ingredients
4 tbsp groundnut oil
2 free-range eggs, lightly beaten
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tbsp grated fresh root ginger
250g/9oz skinless chicken breast fillets, chopped into small pieces
1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
2 dried Chinese mushrooms, pre-soaked in hot water for 20 minutes, drained and finely chopped
1 small carrot, carrot
50g/2oz gherkins or preserved mustard greens, finely diced
50g/2oz dried wood ear mushrooms, pre-soaked in hot water for 20 minutes, drained and finely chopped
120g/4oz canned bamboo shoots, drained and chopped
1 handful dry-roasted peanuts
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
2-3 pinches ground white pepper
To serve
12 Iceberg lettuce leaves from or 12 small wheat flour pancakes, steamed in a bamboo steamer for 5-6 minutes

Method
1. Heat a wok until smoking and add two tablespoons of the groundnut oil, then add the eggs and cook for one minute, or until scrambled. Remove from the wok and put to one side. Wipe the wok clean.
2. Heat the remaining groundnut oil in the wok until smoking, then add the garlic and ginger and stir fry for a few seconds. Add the chicken and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly golden, then add the rice wine or sherry and stir well. Stir fry for a few seconds, then add the dried Chinese mushrooms and carrot and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, or until the carrots are tender but with a bit of bite.
3. Add the gherkins, dried wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots and peanuts and mix well. Stir in the scrambled eggs. Season with the soy sauce, sesame oil and pepper and transfer to a serving dish.
4. To serve, place the dish in the centre of the table together with the lettuce leaves. Stuff each lettuce leaf with the filling and eat immediately.

  • omg mu shu chicken at p.f. changs...yesterday... drooling

  • @sammislawa yeah, we do like to get messy :)

  • Not really Chinese food.. :S.. They're fusion ... Westernized Chinese food, or even Chinesed western food?

  • Have you ever heard a westerner speak Chinese, it is just amazingly odd from a chinese cultural perspective!

  • yeah not everyone likes getting so messy as americans do when they eat

  • I don't know why but seeing an Asian woman with a British accent seems a little strange.

  • I've never ever seen anyone eat chicken wrapped in a napkin...that was interesting.

  • haha she's scared of mushrooms
