The zing in this stir-fry comes from Chinese five spice powder—a heady blend of star anise, fennel seed, cinnamon bark, cloves, and Szechuan peppercorns. It’s available in Asian markets and many gourmet shops, as well as on the international aisle of some supermarkets. Getting your hands on it will be your biggest challenge with this recipe. There’s some prep to be done, but none of it hard. Tips: Look for organic, pasture-raised, or antibiotic-free chicken. Always clean your cutting board and wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw poultry. Finally, to clean the mushrooms, either brush with a mushroom brush or rinse briefly under cold running water and pat dry.
