Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (or thighs), thinly sliced

1 small head of cabbage, shredded

1 medium onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp olive oil (or vegetable oil)

1 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

  • Add the sliced chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  • In the same skillet, add sesame oil. Add sliced onion and garlic, and sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  • Add shredded cabbage and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the cabbage softens.

  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing everything together.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour the sauce over the chicken and cabbage mixture and stir to coat.

  • Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Variations: Replace chicken with tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version. Add extra veggies like bell peppers, carrots, or mushrooms for more flavor and nutrition. Spice it up by adding extra red pepper flakes or chili oil for heat.

  • Storage/Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on a skillet over medium heat. You may need to add a splash of soy sauce or water to prevent it from drying out.

  • Freezing: You can freeze this dish for up to a month, but the texture of the cabbage may change slightly after reheating.
