Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium‑high. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, cook 5–7 minutes until done and lightly golden.
  2. Add garlic and ginger: Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add vegetables: Toss in cabbage, bell pepper, and carrots. Stir‑fry 3–5 minutes until vegetables are just tender.
  4. Add sauces: Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce (if used), and sesame oil. Toss to coat and cook 1–2 minutes to heat through.
  5. Finish and garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken ahead for deeper flavor—soy, garlic, and ginger work well.
  • Swap chicken with tofu or shrimp for variation.
  • Add extra vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, or mushrooms.
  • Make it spicy with red pepper flakes or sriracha.
  • Use low‑sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content.
