Method
- 1
Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in just-boiled water for 20 minutes, then drain and slice, keeping the soaking liquid.
- 2
Toss the chicken with half the light soy sauce and the chinese rice wine and leave to marinate for 10 minutes.
- 3
Rinse the rice and put it in a large heavy-based pan with the chicken stock and mushroom soaking liquid, then bring to the boil.
- 4
Arrange the chicken, chestnut mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms over the rice.
- 5
Cover, turn the heat to the lowest setting and cook for 20 minutes without lifting the lid, until the rice has absorbed the liquid and the chicken is cooked through with no pink remaining.
- 6
Turn off the heat and leave covered for 5 minutes, then drizzle with the remaining soy sauce, scatter with the spring onions and serve.
