Note
If your wok is small, cook the chicken in two separate batches to ensure proper browning and cooking.
You can substitute fresh mushrooms with 1/2 cup of canned mushrooms if preferred.
For a larger main dish presentation, consider using whole chicken pieces instead of chopping them into small chunks.
Ensure the cornstarch solution is well-mixed right before adding it to the hot wok to prevent lumps.
