Preparing: Soak the dried Shiitake mushroom slices and goji berries in warm water for 10 minutes. In a frying pan over medium heat, add the garlic and oil and cook until the garlic turns slightly golden.
Marinating: Combine the chicken pieces, soaked Shiitake mushroom slices, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, and corn flour in a bowl. Let it marinate for half an hour.
Steaming: Mix in the soaked Goji berries and garlic oil. Set up a steamer and add an inch of water. Place it over medium-high heat. Once the water is boiling, steam the chicken for 20-30 minutes or until it's thoroughly cooked.

Chicken: Boneless chicken thighs are more flavorful and are less likely to dry out while cooking.
Shiitake mushroom: Using pre-sliced shiitake mushrooms saved me a lot of time, but you can use whole ones too. Just soak them in water and then slice them.
Goji Berries: Goji berries aren’t just healthy; they also bring a vibrant color to the dish. But if you can’t find them, it’s fine to leave them out.
Garlic: Garlic oil can be used for many things. I usually make extra and keep it in the fridge. It’s an easy way to add flavor to your food without having to peel garlic every time.
