Directions
Straw mushrooms are available canned in the Oriental section of many supermarkets or fresh in Asian groceries. Enoki mushrooms would probably be a good substitute.
Heat the oil in a saucepan or wok and fry the garlic until soft but not brown.
Add the chicken and stir-fry for 5 minutes.
Cool a little.
Add the water and mushrooms.
Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the lemon juice.
Cover, and cook gently for a further 10 minutes.
Add the chilies, spring onions and ginger.
Remove from the heat.
Sprinkle with coriander leaves before serving.
