List of Ingredients




1 1/2 - 2 Tablespoons canola oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
8 oz Shitake or button mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
4 scallions, whites minced, greens thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced (2 teasp)

1-1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons Sake (rice wine) or sherry
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or to taste)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 cups mung bean sprouts
salt and freshly ground pepper

Recipe



Just before serving, heat a large wok over high heat. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the onion and mushrooms, an dcook for 2 minutes, or until the onion is tender-crisp. Transfer the mixture to a platter with a slotted spoon.

Swirl the remaining oil in the wok. Add the scallion whites, garlic, and ginger , and cook for 20 seconds or until fragrantbut NOT brown. Add the chickenand sesame seeds, and cook for 1 minute, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add the Sake and flambe. (If working over a gas burner, simply tilt the pan toward the flame, and the wine will catch fire. If using an electric burner, light the wine with a match.)

* Use the Saki, cooking sherry won't light.

When the flame dies down, stir in the soy sauce and lemon juice, and continue cookingfor 2 to 3 minutes, or until the chicken is done. Add the bean sproutsand cook over high heat for 30 seconds, or until the sprouts lose their rawness.

Stir in the onion, mushrooms, scallion greens, salt and pepper. Correct the seasoning, adding soy sauce and lemon juice to taste.

Notes
We used 1/4 lb of shitake mushrooms, and skipped the bean sprouts as some guests wouldn't eat them.

Meat lovers, or those with hearty appetites should go heavier on the chicken. We used chicken strips which cooked well.
