Instructions

Combine soy sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil in a bowl, add chicken, coat, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cornstarch; marinate for 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator.
Dissolve 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch in water, then mix it with dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, sugar, and sesame oil for the sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a wok or skillet on high heat; stir-fry garlic, ginger, and green onions for about 1 minute until fragrant, then remove them to a small bowl.
Stir-fry the marinated chicken in the wok for 3-4 minutes until color changes, then remove it and discard any remaining marinade.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the wok, return the garlic, ginger, and green onions, then add mushrooms and bamboo shoots (or baby corn) and stir-fry for 1 minute.
Return the chicken to the wok, pour the prepared sauce into the center, stir quickly, then combine with the chicken and vegetables.
Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients, then serve.
