 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2       tb           Olive oil
  1                    Clove garlic, chopped
 12       oz           Chicken breast, diced
  4       c            Water
  4       oz           Straw mushrooms, chopped
  2       tb           Lemon juice
  2       sm           Green chilies, sliced in
                       -rings
  2                    Spring onions, chipped
  1       pn           Ground ginger
                       -----GARNISH-----
                       Coriander leaves

 Here's another simple recipe.  Straw mushrooms are available canned
 in the Oriental section of many supermarkets or fresh in Asian
 groceries. Enoki mushrooms would probably be a good substitute,
 although I haven't tried that...

 Heat the oil in a saucepan or wok and fry the garlic until soft but
 not brown.

 Add the chicken and stir-fry for 5 minutes. cool a little. Add the
 water and mushrooms.  Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
 Add the lemon juice.  Cover, and cook gently for a further 10 minutes.

 Add the chilies, spring onions and ginger.  Remove from the heat.
 Sprinkle with coriander leaves before serving.
