Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tb Olive oil
1 Clove garlic, chopped
12 oz Chicken breast, diced
4 c Water
4 oz Straw mushrooms, chopped
2 tb Lemon juice
2 sm Green chilies, sliced in
-rings
2 Spring onions, chipped
1 pn Ground ginger
-----GARNISH-----
Coriander leaves

Here's another simple recipe. Straw mushrooms are available canned
in the Oriental section of many supermarkets or fresh in Asian
groceries. Enoki mushrooms would probably be a good substitute,
although I haven't tried that...

Heat the oil in a saucepan or wok and fry the garlic until soft but
not brown.

Add the chicken and stir-fry for 5 minutes. cool a little. Add the
water and mushrooms. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the lemon juice. Cover, and cook gently for a further 10 minutes.

Add the chilies, spring onions and ginger. Remove from the heat.
Sprinkle with coriander leaves before serving.
