In a bowl, add 2 tbsp of oyster sauce, 2 tbsp of shaoxing wine, 1 tsp of kosher salt, 1 tsp of sesame oil, 2 tbsp of soy sauce, and 1/2 tsp of sugar. Mix well to create the sauce.

Slice 3 chicken thighs (a little over 1/2 lb) and add to a bowl with 1 tbsp of the sauce, 1 tsp of corn starch, and a dash of black pepper. Mix to marinate and let sit for 15 minutes.

Prepare the vegetables: use 1 bunch of bok choy (about 3 cups) and shiitake mushrooms that have been rehydrated in warm water for about 5 minutes.

Soak the rice cakes in warm water for about 20 minutes to soften them before use.

In a hot wok, add cooking oil and stir fry the marinated chicken for about 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Add the rehydrated shiitake mushrooms, sliced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the wok. Stir well to combine.

Add the soaked rice cakes, bok choy, remaining sauce, and 1/4 cup of water to the wok. Mix everything together.

Cover the wok with a lid and let it cook for about 3 minutes to allow the rice cakes to soak up the liquid.

After 3 minutes, remove the lid and let it cook for another 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the rice cakes like gravy.
