Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into thin strips)
  • 1 small head of cabbage (shredded)
  • 1 bell pepper (thinly sliced)
  • 1 onion (thinly sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the bell pepper and cabbage to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crunchy.
  • Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), rice vinegar, and chili flakes (optional). Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss everything together to combine.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions, and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different variation.
  • For extra crunch, you can add some chopped peanuts or cashews as a garnish.
  • Make sure to slice the cabbage and chicken into thin, even pieces for quick cooking.
