Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Make the Filling: Blend chicken thighs and garlic in a food processor until finely ground. In a bowl, combine this with vegetarian oyster sauce, soy sauce, chopped green onions, white pepper, and egg. Mix until uniform.
  2. Prepare the Mushrooms: Remove stems and make an 'X' on the bottom of each cap to prevent splitting. Ensure caps are clean and dry.
  3. Stuff the Mushrooms: Fill each mushroom cap generously with the chicken mixture, pressing gently to pack it in.
  4. Pan-Fry the Mushrooms: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a drizzle of neutral oil. Place the stuffed mushrooms chicken-side down and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Prepare the Gravy: Whisk together soy sauce, chicken stock, mirin, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
  6. Finish Cooking: Flip the mushrooms and cook for another 2 minutes. Drizzle the prepared sauce over them, cover, and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
  7. Serve the Dish: Remove the lid, spoon extra sauce over the mushrooms, and plate them. Serve hot with the glossy soy gravy.
