Chicken, Capsicum and Mushroom Stir-fried with Soy Sauce

I wonder if it is surprising that I actually can cook decent meal. I even prefer to cook myself rather than eating out, except for fast food that I can't resist (McD's) and some delicacy that I'm too lazy to invest some of my time to cook it (Laksa Sarawak).

Now, for this Chicken stir-fry, it is actually the usual chinese-style dish. Some of my family member is not really into such, uh, cuisine. But, whatever. Now here are the basic ingredients:

200gm Chicken (cut into cubes)
Half a Capsicum
200gm Oyster Mushroom
a packet of Enoki Mushroom
Garlic
Ginger
Light Soy Sauce
Oyster Sauce
Sesame Oil



Preparation:
Marinade the chicken in oyster sauce and soy sauce. Depend on your liking, you can even marinade it overnight. Since I was in hurry, I only marinade the chicken for about 10 minutes.
Cut the capsicum and oyster mushroom into slices.
Discard the enoki mushroom's roots and separate the mushroom stalks from each other.
Cut garlic and ginger into slices.

Cook-it:
Heat some cooking oil in a wok. Don't use too much oil. Just enough to fry the ginger and garlic.
Stir-fry the garlic and ginger until it is nearly brown in color.
Put the chicken, stir-fry it until it is well cooked.
Put the mushrooms. Stir-fry it until it is soften. Put in some light soy sauce.
Finally put in the capsicum, stir-fry for a little bit then put in a little bit of sesame oil.
You can add some more light soy sauce depend on the taste.
Stir some more, and there you have it. Chicken, capsicum and mushroom stir-fried with light soy sauce.




The pictures turn out to be quite ugly. Sorry about those. But, I can guarantee, it tasted real good. This was a simple meal that I cooked with whatever I found in the fridge. You doesn't need to follow exactly like I did. Add any taste that you like into it. If you love it to be sweet, add in some spring onion. No fresh mushroom? Dried mushroom is also good. Can't stand the taste of capsicum? No need to put it in. Its you meal, do whatever you want with it.

Lastly, have fun, and enjoy your meal.
