Wendell's Chicken Hekka

I don't normally care for Chicken Hekka, but Wendell made this the other night and it was ono.  I liked how it tasted healthy and not fat laden like a lot of other foods that I eat.  He followed a Hawaiian Electric Company recipe.  You can find it here.

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup soy sauce

3/4 cup mirin

2 tbs. salad oil

2 inch piece ginger root, grated

2 onions, sliced

1 can (14 oz.) bamboo shoots, drained

1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced

1 bunch watercress, cut 

8 oz. package long rice, cut into 2 inch lengths

Slice chicken into serving pieces. Combine sugar, soy sauce, and mirin. In a skillet or wok, heat oil to medium high. Squeeze juice from grated ginger into wok. Add ginger and stir fry until brown; discard ginger fibers. Add chicken and stir-fry over high heat. Add soy sauce mixture and cook for 2 more minutes. Add vegetables, one at a time, and stir-fry after each addition. Add long rice and cook for 3 more minutes, or until done. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
