Chicken And Bamboo Shoots With Watercress
What You Need:
  • 2 pounds chicken thighs and drumsticks
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ pound button mushrooms
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon monosodium glutamate (MSG)
  • ¼ cup Mirin or sherry wine
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • ¾ cup soy sauce
  • 1 can (6-ounces) sliced bamboo shoots
  • 2 cups watercress (cut in 1-inch pieces)
  • How To Cook:
    1. Bone the chicken and cut the meat into bite-size pieces, cutting across the muscle fibers whenever possible.

    2. Put the chicken and butter in a covered casserole and cook in the microwave oven, stirring from time-to-time until the chicken is nearly tender (about 15 minutes).

    3. Add the mushrooms. Continue cooking, covered, until the mushrooms are tender (about 5 minutes).

    4. Add all the remaining ingredients except the watercress. Stir. Cook, covered, in the microwave oven, stirring several times until the sauce has thickened and everything is very hot.

    5. Stir in the watercress and serve over rice.

    TIP:
        The watercress will get hot through and just start to wilt from the heat of the chicken dish. No other cooking is needed.
