Chinese Chicken Cabbage Stir-Fry

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups cabbage, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
  • Green onions, sliced (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Slice the chicken breasts thinly against the grain. Shred the cabbage, slice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed and sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the bell pepper and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Add cabbage and sauce: Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sugar (if using). Toss everything together to coat the cabbage and vegetables in the sauce.
  5. Combine chicken and garnish: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables and sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
