Instructions
Making Chicken Cabbage Stir-Fry is simple with these easy-to-follow steps:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Slice the chicken breast, shred the cabbage, and chop the bell pepper and carrot. Mince the garlic and ginger.
2. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, mix chicken strips with soy sauce, cornstarch, and a bit of salt and pepper. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the cabbage, bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3–5 minutes until veggies are tender-crisp.
6. Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Mix everything well, adding rice vinegar for extra tang if desired.
7. Final Seasoning: Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or soy sauce if needed. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
