Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1- inch ginger grated
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
- Optional: green onions sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix chicken with 1 tbsp soy sauce, cornstarch, and water. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes. This helps the chicken stay tender and develop a glossy finish when cooked.
- Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high. Add chicken in batches and cook until browned and just cooked through. Remove and set aside. Don't crowd the pan to keep it from steaming.
- Add a bit more oil if needed. Toss in garlic and ginger. Stir constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them—they should smell amazing, not bitter.
- Throw in your shredded cabbage and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. It should wilt but keep a bit of crunch. If using green cabbage, cook a little longer to soften it just right.
- Return the chicken to the pan. Pour in the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Toss everything to coat well. Stir-fry another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
