3. baby shanghai greens with shitake

for chicken, i used 2.8kg frozen boneless thighs, cut and marinated overnight with 6tbsp huadiaojiu, 3tbsp fish sauce, 3tbsp oyster sauce and 2tbsp corn flour.

this morning, i fried sliced ginger and minced garlic and added chicken, fried thoroughly for 5mins, covered wok and cooked another 2 mins.
