This is my favourite childhood dish. Dad ate it since young. Always says, never get bored of eating it. I didn’t manage to get chicken. So, in this recipe, i recreated and cooked it using lion mane mushrooms with enoki as vegetarian version. It is as tasty as the meat version.

May 20th, 20 - this is my first time trying out this dish using lion mane mushrooms - vegetarian way. Hope you like it.

The important ingredients for this dish are ginger and sesame oil. I saw my sister julienne a big bowl of gingers. For me, I cut down the ginger, so my small boy can eat with us.

For chicken, I normally use drumstick and tight area as it is soft and juicy. You can opt for part you fancy. Enoki mushrooms is not necessary if you are using chicken. Lion mane mushrooms are easily get from vegetarian shop at the frozen section.

My children loves potatoes. I used 5 medium potatoes. May slice, wedge or dice the potatoes as your wish but not in a big chunk. It may takes longer to cook.

Lets me share you feedback from my daughter after she tried it.

Me : “Which is nicer? Chicken or mushroom?”
Gal : “Both chicken and mushroom are delicious. This version with cucumber, it is crunchy and every munch is even tastier.”

Have a try and hope you love this dish as we do. Happy cooking!!!
