Steps:
- Bring the water for the rice to a boil in a large saucepan. Add a pinch of salt and stir in the rice.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low to keep the mixture at a slow simmer. Cover tightly and cook until the rice is tender but not mushy, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside until ready to serve.
- Place the chicken, 1/3 of the scallions, 1/3 of the garlic and all of the ginger in a wok or large skillet.
- Add the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat (do not boil).
- Continue cooking, turning several times, until the chicken is tender and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and strain the broth into a measuring cup and discard the solids.
- Once the chicken has cooled enough to handle, shred it into bite-sized pieces, transfer to a bowl and toss with 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil. Set aside.
- Wipe any excess moisture from the skillet and heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the remaining garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, cook for another minute, then add the soy sauce and sugar.
- Continue cooking for 2 minutes, then stir in 3/4 cup of the reserved broth.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then slowly add the beaten egg, stirring continuously until the sauce has thickened.
- Add the remaining scallions and sesame oil along with a few grinds of black pepper. Remove from the heat.
- To serve, fluff the rice with a fork and place a portion in each of 4 serving bowls. Top with a portion of shredded chicken and spoon the mushroom sauce over the top.
- Garnish with a little more black pepper and serve immediately.

CHICKEN IN SOY MUSHROOM SAUCE
This is a really tasty, low fat dish. If you don't have time to marinade the chicken, don't bother. It really needs at least one hour, even better with longer. It comes from a Family Circle cookbook entitled "healthy eating". Cooking time is listed as the marinading time. This is not the kind of dish that you can run off and do other things while cooking it. You really do need to stand there..

SOY SAUCE CHICKEN WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Mix together the marinade ingredients. Make 2 or 3 diagonal cuts on each side of the chicken thighs. Place the thighs in a large resealable plastic bag and add the marinade. (Use 2 bags and split the marinade in half if necessary.) Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 4 hours or longer, moving the bag occasionally to make sure all the thighs are coated in the marinade. Remove the chicken and reserve the marinade.
- While the chicken is marinating, soften the dried shiitake mushrooms by soaking in hot water for about 30 minutes. Squeeze out any excess water. Cut off the stems and cut the caps in half.
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until browned, turning over once. Add the onion and saute until softened (about 5 minutes). At the same time, you are browning the chicken and cooking the onions, bring the reserved marinade to boil in a small saucepan. Boil the marinade for 5 minutes.
- Add the marinade and the dried mushrooms to the chicken and onions. Season with salt and freshly ground black or white pepper if desired. Simmer, uncovered, on low heat for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, adding water if needed. Serve soy sauce chicken hot over steamed rice.

Steps:
- Flatten chicken if needed as you want it to fry quickly.
- Measure flour onto a flat plate and lightly coat chicken. Preserve 1/2 tablespoon of flour and set aside.
- Melt margerine in a large skillet and brown chicken two to three minutes each side and place in a greased baking dish.
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Saute mushrooms in the same skillet (do not wash as you want to preserve the juices) until tender.
- Add chicken broth, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Let boil for 3 minutes, add sherry and remaining 1/2 tablespoon of flour. Be sure to gradually add the flour by sprinkling in and mixing while allowing it to dissolve. Adding it too fast will result in clumps of flour in your mushroom sauce. Let the mixture reduce by half of your original liquid.
- Pour mixture over chicken and bake uncovered in oven for 12-15 minutes.
- Remove chicken from oven and layer half of the parmesan cheese, then sprinkle on green onions. Add the remaining parmesan and mozzarella on top and bake for an additional five to six minutes.
- Enjoy :).
