Combine 2 Tbs of the oil in a medium frypan or wok over high heat. Flick a literal drop of water into the pan to check that it’s hot enough sizzles. Add the chicken and stir fry until cooked through and a little browned. Transfer the chicken to plate.
Mix the seasonings together in a small bowl. Combine the remaining oil with the garlic and sauté until the garlic starts to turn golden. Spread the mushrooms evenly across the pan and leave them alone until they start to brown on one side. Toss them for a few seconds more, until they wilt a little.
Return the chicken to the pan then add the spring onions and seasoning mixture.
Toss to coat everything in the sauce well. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with steamed rice.
