Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms

Overview

When I was a kid, I ate mushrooms in Sichuan, and my grandma always made me spicy chicken stew

Wash and chop half a chicken into pieces, blanch it in a pot under cold water
After blanching, take out the water and set aside
Wash and slice mushrooms
Cut onions into sections, slice ginger, a dozen peppercorns, 2 bay leaves, 2 star anise, 4 garlic cloves, 4 dried chili peppers

When the chicken fat is simmered out, add all the seasonings above and stir-fry
Add oyster sauce and continue to stir-fry
Heat water and add appropriate amount of soy sauce to enhance color
When the chicken is seven times cooked, add mushrooms
Add appropriate amount of salt and chicken essence to taste before serving
