# Directions:

In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of water, 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, and cornstarch. Whisk until dissolved. Add the sliced chicken, toss to coat evenly, and set aside to marinate.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 4 tablespoons of water, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and soy sauce until fully integrated. Set aside.

Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs, spreading to form a thin layer. Cook for 3 minutes, flip, and cook an additional 3 minutes until fully set. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into thin strips.

Using the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the marinated chicken strips. Cook undisturbed for 6 minutes, flip, and cook another 6 minutes until golden brown and the juices run clear. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the skillet over medium-high heat. Add shredded cabbage, drained shiitake mushrooms, minced garlic, and sherry. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, until the cabbage starts to wilt and mushrooms are heated through.
