This was a great foundation for the dish I ended up making with ingredients that I had on hand. I have a few diet restrictions and thought this recipe could be adapted by leaving out the shoyu, cornstarch and salt to be healthier for me. I had 8 ounces of crimini mushrooms in my refrigerator that needed to be used so I substituted them for the black mushrooms. I only had 24 ounces of boneless, skinless chicken thighs so I decided that would have to do. I followed the directions for cooking and the result was better than I thought it would be. My friend also has health concerns and loved this dish.
