Chinese take away

[bexta]

Hi all, I had a gorgeous Chinese at the weekend and I'm going to be brave and try to make it myself.

It was a really simple dish, chicken n egg fried rice, mushrooms in gravy and crispy skewered chicken sticks. Best Chinese i've ever had!

Has anyone got any idea how I would make the chicken sticks and mushrooms in gravy?

suspect the chicken is satay

no idea on the mushrooms tho (urgh)

I'd guess the mushrooms would be done with oyster sauce (did the gravy have a sweet/savoury taste?). Were the mushrooms the button variety?

Slice an onion, fry until soft (finely chopped ginger/garlic as you like), add mushrooms. In a small dish, mix couple of teaspoons of cornflour, dollop of oyster sauce and water - add to pan to make gravy (do a bit first, then add/adjust until you get the consistency/volume you want). Season to taste.
