Instructions

Whisk together broth, sherry, oyster sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, garlic, ginger, sugar, and sesame oil for the marinade.

Add chicken to marinade and massage to thoroughly coat; marinate at least 10 minutes.

Heat 2 Tbsp. peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over high until shimmering. Add chicken (reserve marinade) and stir-fry until nearly cooked through, 2 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Wipe out wok.

Heat 1 Tbsp. peanut oil in wok. Add mushrooms and stir-fry until golden and dry, 3 minutes; transfer to bowl with chicken. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. peanut oil to wok. Add carrots and snow peas and stir-fry until crisp-tender, 2 minutes.

Add reserved marinade to wok; boil until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Stir in chicken, mushrooms, any residual juices, and bamboo shoots until heated through; season stir-fry with salt.
