Preparation
Clean mushrooms and slice into large, bite-sized pieces.
Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and toss in 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch so that they’re lightly coated.
In a bowl, mix together the chicken stock, Shaoxing wine, soy, sesame oil, white pepper, and the 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch. Set aside.
Separate the greens and whites of the scallions.
Slice the whites thinly on a bias.
Cut the greens into 2″ pieces.
Slice the ginger very thinly, then stack the slices and slice again into fine matchsticks.
Slice the garlic very thinly.
Heat the oil in a wok over medium-high heat.
Add the mushrooms and stir fry for 5 minutes.
Add the scallions, ginger, and garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Reduce heat to medium.
Stir the sauce to re-incorporate the cornstarch, then add to the wok.
Stir and cook until the sauce has thickened.
Serve immediately with white rice and sides. Enjoy!
