from memory..oh o!:
i took two boneless/skinless chicken thighs. i cut it up into 1" chunks and partially froze them. i then divided it into two batches and put them into my food processor. about 10 good pulses and i felt i had nice 1/8 chop.
i whisked some cooking (about 2 teaspoons of everything) wine, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, corn starch together. made a loose slurry. i stirred in the chicken and let it marinate in the fridge.
then i got busy with my knife. i diced, 2 celery stalks, a small can of water chestnuts, a small can of bamboo shoots, about 6 big dried black mushrooms (i soaked them in hot water for about 30 minutes), the white parts of 3 green onions, 2 garlic gloves.
^^^^now if i was smarter..i would have used the damn food processor for this part..prior to chicken..DUH!
okay..the cooking. i browned the chicken in a big skillet - tiny bit of oil. put the cooked chicken on a plate. i then dumped a tiny bit more oil, and softened the mushrooms and celery. once softened..i dumped the chicken back in.
if you had a rocket hot stove, you could prob do it together. i dont.
once everything is sizzling back togther..i dumped the rest of the chopped things in. added two tablespoons of oyster sauce..some salt, some white pepper. i was done.
i think butter lettuce cups would be better than the iceburg i had laying around.
i think huge fistfulls of fresh basil added right at the end and stirred in would have kickedass as well. i was too lazy to head out into the heat and garden.
