Ingredients:

Serving

1 (3-inch) piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
1/2 tsp dried hot red pepper flakes
1 tsp asian sesame oil
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 lb fresh shiitake mushrooms , stems discarded and caps thinly sliced
4 scallions , cut crosswise into thirds, then lengthwise into julienne strips
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
soft-leafed lettuce for serving

Directions:

Bring 1 1/2 inches water to a boil with ginger in a deep 12-inch skillet and add chicken. Poach at a bare simmer, turning over once, until just cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer chicken with a slotted spoon to a plate and when cool enough to handle, finely shred.
Whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil in a large bowl to make dressing.
Heat vegetable oil in cleaned skillet until hot but not smoking, then sauté mushrooms over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add scallions, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste and sauté, stirring, until scallions are just softened, about 1 minute.
Add to dressing, then add chicken and cilantro and toss. Serve chicken salad with lettuce.
