Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add tofu cubes and cook until golden on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Add chopped garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add sliced shiitake mushrooms and cook until tender, about 4-5 minutes.

Return chicken to the skillet with the mushrooms and tofu.

Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl until smooth, then pour over the chicken and vegetables.

Stir well to coat everything and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Season with ground black pepper to taste.

Garnish with chopped spring onion before serving.
