How to Make Chinese Chicken Cabbage Stir-Fry

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  1. Slice the chicken breasts thinly against the grain.
  2. In a small bowl, toss the chicken slices with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for a smooth sauce later). Let it marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Stir-Fry Sauce

  1. In another bowl, mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, chili paste, and sesame oil. Stir until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken slices to the pan in a single layer and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
  3. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 4: Stir-Fry the Veggies

  1. In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed.
  2. Toss in the garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crispy.

Step 5: Combine Chicken & Sauce

  1. Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the cabbage.
  2. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and cabbage, stirring to coat everything evenly.
  3. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld together.

Step 6: Garnish & Serve

  1. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
  2. Serve over steamed rice, quinoa, or enjoy it on its own as a low-carb meal.
