Equipment

  • 1 large wok or skillet
  • 1 chopping board
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 wooden spatula or tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 unit red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • to taste unit salt and pepper
  • optional unit cooked jasmine rice or noodles for serving

Instructions
 

  • Prepare all your ingredients by slicing the chicken, shredding the cabbage, slicing the bell pepper, and julienning the carrot. Set aside.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the wok, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the sliced chicken to the wok, cooking for about 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Stir constantly to ensure even cooking.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, add the cabbage, bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
  • Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Mix everything well and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately, either on its own or over cooked jasmine rice or noodles.

Notes

For a spicier version, consider adding sliced chili peppers or a dash of chili sauce.
Feel free to substitute chicken with tofu, shrimp, or beef for a different protein option.
This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving.
