Notes
Reserve the liquid the mushrooms were soaked in and add 4 Tbs of this liquid for more flavor.
Marinate the chicken in a mix of equal parts of soy sauce and rice wine. Add the cornstarch to the marinade, or mix it with the liquid left after removing the chicken, before adding it to the wok.
If you don't have it, substitute rice wine with dry sherry.
The meat should be skinless and boneless, cut into thin strips - same size for even cooking. Chicken breast is the best option, chicken thighs would be the next best thing.
