Ingredients:
1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breast, thinly sliced
½ head of green cabbage, shredded or chopped
2 tbsp vegetable oil (or sesame oil for extra flavor)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions:
Prepare the ingredients: Slice chicken into thin strips and shred the cabbage. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until golden and cooked through (about 5–7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
Caramelize the cabbage: Add another tablespoon of oil to the same pan. Toss in the cabbage and cook for 4–6 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Add aromatics: Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Combine everything: Return the chicken to the pan. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Toss everything together until the chicken and cabbage are well coated in the savory glaze.
Serve hot: Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions for a restaurant-style finish.
Tips for the Best Stir-Fry:
For extra crunch, toss in shredded carrots or sliced bell peppers.
Want it spicy? Add a teaspoon of chili paste or a dash of sriracha!
Serve over steamed rice, noodles, or quinoa for a complete meal.
