You can find many recipes for chicken with shiitake mushroom on the internet, but this is mine that I got from my mother. This is my favourite dish. My mum used to ask me to prepare dinner, but I was only asked to wash the vegetables or do some cutting. When mum told me that she would let me cook one day, I was thrilled.

The results were good when I shared a flat in college with friends and cooked this dish many times. I guess my hard work paid off.

They also have antioxidants which fight free radicals (which in a sense, combats aging).
