Chinese Braised Shiitake Mushrooms

• 1 tablespoon ginger juice
• 1 tablespoon juice spring, green onion
• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 1/2 ounces dried shiitake mushrooms
• 2 garlic cloves crushed
• 1/2 teaspoon peanut oil
• 1/2 pound chicken ready-made, /vegetable stock
• 3/4 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch black pepper
• 1/2 inch rock sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
• 3/4 tablespoon cornstarch OR unmodified potato starch in 80 ml, 1/3 c water

1. Soak the mushrooms in boiling water for 30 minutes. Remove the stems (you can save them for stuffed tofu or something else).
2. Meanwhile make the marinade, by mixing everything together in a medium sized bowl. Marinate the mushrooms for at least 10 minutes.
3. Heat the oil in a large frying pan (skillet) with a lid. Saute the garlic, then add the mushrooms and saute until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the stock, oyster sauce, salt, black pepper and rock sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer with the lid on for 30 minutes. After that, uncover and allow the sauce to reduce, about 5-10 minutes.
4. Add the shaoxing wine and bring back to the boil, then add the starch slurry, stir and allow to thicken. Before serving sprinkle over the sesame oil and enjoy!
