Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
- 1 small Chinese cabbage, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, peeled and grated
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water. Stir well to dissolve the cornstarch and set the sauce aside.
- Heat the Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the sliced chicken strips to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Add the Cabbage: Add the chopped Chinese cabbage to the wok and continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes until the cabbage is wilted but still retains some crunch.
- Add the Sauce: Pour in the sauce mixture and stir well to coat the chicken and cabbage evenly. Stir-fry for another minute until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the stir-fry hot with steamed rice
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier dish, you can add some red pepper flakes or chopped chili peppers to the stir-fry.
- For a more authentic flavor, you can use light soy sauce and dark soy sauce for a richer taste.
- Feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for extra color and texture.
