How to make Chinese Chicken & Cabbage Stir-Fry
Prepare the Chicken
Mix chicken slices with soy sauce and black pepper. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Make the Sauce
Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and chili flakes. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken
Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Add chicken and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Stir-fry the Vegetables
In the same pan, add more oil.
Sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add cabbage, carrot, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
Combine Everything
Return the cooked chicken to the pan.
Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well.
Add the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything.
Serve & Enjoy
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
Tips & Tricks
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for longer if time permits.
Adjust the amount of chili flakes to suit your spice preference.
Use a mix of sesame and vegetable oil for a more authentic taste.
