   Hi, this is one of my comfort food, and your version is even better than what I am used to!

   I can’t find 花雕酒 or 绍兴酒 in London, but recently chance upon Ginger Wine in the local supermarket – wanna tell u (and your other readers) that it works wonderfully with your recipe!

   If you dont like button mushrooms … try with black fungus… soak the fungus 1st with water, then rinse it n fry it together with the chicken.. yummy.. n good for blood circulation also :D

     that’s great idea – I think chicken and black fungus is a winning combi. Thanks for sharing :))

     Hi, you don’t need to substitute, just omit it. It will still taste good, sometimes even Chinese omitted the wine for various reasons.

   You might want to be add some starch (淀粉）It will make the sauce creamy and yummy.
