Sesame Oil Young Ginger Chicken

Came across this dish on TV and wanted to try it out because the preparation is slightly different from the usual. Shredded young ginger is used and not fried in sesame oil before adding to the chicken pieces.
For the recipe here, I am giving the actual ingredients [but I substituted mushrooms with black fungus and spring onions with coriander leaves because I have not these 2 ingredients when cooking this dish].  I will definitely cook this dish again with the actual ingredients as it tasted good even even with black fungus and coriander leaves.  I think with mushrooms and spring onions it will be more aromatic and fragrant served with plain white rice.

Later for my lunch with my hubby, I added more water [400 ml] to make this dish into a soup and serve it with blanched Mee Suah and vegetables as a 'One dish meal'.
