Braised Chicken with Mushrooms and Star Anise
Serves 6-8

1 tablespoon peanut oil
6-8 chicken thighs with skin and bones
10 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced or quartered
2 cups chopped green onions
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 14 1/2-ounce cans low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
4 whole star anise

1 smaller head napa cabbage, sliced
1 tablespoon sriracha

In a very large pot, brown the chicken and remove. Add mushrooms, 1.5c scallions, garlic and ginger. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add back the chicken, along with everything else down to the star anise.
Cook 20 minutes, or until chicken is falling apart.

Remove the chicken and de-bone. Cut into strips. Boil the rest of the pot's contents another 20-30 minutes, until reduced well. Add the cabbage and sriracha and cook the cabbage down some. Thicken with slurry if needed.

Add in the chicken and serve over rice with the remaining scallions.
