Black Mushroom Chicken, Deep-Fry/braised Preparation
1. Soak dried mushrooms. 2. Cut chicken in half and wipe with a damp cloth. Rub, inside and out, with soy sauce. Let stand 10 minutes. 3. Meanwhile slice ginger root. Shred bamboo shoot, water chestnuts and soaked mushrooms. Cut scallion stalks in 1-inch sections. 4. Heat oil to bubbling. Gently lower in chicken, one half at a time, and brown lightly. Drain on paper toweling. 5. Heat remaining oil. Add salt and ginger root; stir-fry a few times. Add shredded vegetables and scallions; stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes. 6. Stir in and heat water; add sugar and pepper. Return chicken halves and bring to a boil; then simmer, covered, until tender (about 20 minutes). 7. Remove chicken, leaving liquids in pan. Let bird cool slightly; then chop, bones and all, in bite-size pieces. Arrange on a serving platter. 8. Gently reheat liquids in pan. Meanwhile blend cornstarch and remaining cold water to a paste; then stir in to thicken. Pour sauce over chicken and serve. VARIATION: In step 7, instead of chopping the chicken, disjoint and bone the legs and wiugs. Cut the breast meat in slices and arrange decoratively on a platter with legs and wings.
