Toss it to make sure all chicken strips are coated with tapioca flour.
Mix the ingredients for the delicious sauce. Simply put all in a bowl, mix, and set aside.
Heat the olive oil and sesame in a wok or a large frying pan. Add the chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry on medium-high heat until the chicken becomes golden.
Add the mushrooms to the wok and fry mushrooms for a couple of minutes, until they start to become golden too.
Push the chicken and mushroom to one side of your frying pan or wok so you have a small free area. Add 1 tsp of sesame olive oil and quickly fry minced garlic and ginger in it, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it. Mix the chicken and the mushrooms with garlic and ginger.
Add the sauce and lower the heat to low.
Cook everything together for a couple of minutes, until the sauce has thickened and everything is well combined.
