The Charlie Chan Challenge

I am a huge fan of Yellow Cab's Charlie Chan Pasta. But it is always a 45 minute drive from where I leave. With that , in one of my Charlie Chan moment's I really, truly scrutinized the taste, texture and over-all appeal of the pasta to be able to come up with my version which is close to the real thing.
So here it goes. All you Charlie Chan lovers out there... Enjoy!

2 tbsp choppped garlic
1/2 cup cooking oil
250g chicken breast (strips)


3/4 cup oyster sauce ( imported brand are more salty than local; please omit the soy sauce if using imported oyster sauce)
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/8 cup sugar
1/2 cup water with 1 tsp cornstarch
2 tablespoon soy sauce.
1 tbsp peanut butter

1 1/2 cup Shitake Mushrooms ( if using dried - soak in water for 30minutes then drain) this will take 5-8 minutes to cook; if using fresh, it will be the last to be placed in the sause and simmer only for 2 -3 minutes
1 cup roasted nuts
2 tbsp chopped siling labuyo (the red ones - seeds taken out, please!)

1/2 kg cooked pasta.


Directions
1. Sauté garlic in oil.
2. Cook chicken until brown.
3. Mix the rest of the ingredient.
4. Add liquid mixture to chicken (do not remove the oil) and simmer for a few minutes.
