In a wok or large pan, heat oil and sauté garlic and ginger for about 20 seconds until fragrant. Add diced onions and shiitake mushrooms and cook until softened, about 1-2 mins. Then add the ground chicken, break into small pieces, and sauté until browned, about 2-3 mins. Add water chestnuts, salt, white pepper, and the sauce. Cook until the sauce is mostly absorbed and thickened then toss in scallions, quickly mix, and remove from heat.
