Description
A quick and delicious stir-fry featuring chicken and fresh vegetables, perfect for a weekday dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 15 grams unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 450 grams boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
- 300 grams green cabbage, chopped
- 1 medium bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 30 millilitres soy sauce
- 15 millilitres oyster sauce
- 5 millilitres toasted sesame oil
- 2 grams ground black pepper
- 0.5 grams crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 grams cornstarch mixed with 30 millilitres water
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: slice the onion and bell pepper, julienne the carrot, mince the garlic, chop the green cabbage, and dice the chicken breast into uniform, bite-size pieces.
- Melt butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a separate bowl and set aside.
- Add onion and garlic to the same pan. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add chopped cabbage, sliced bell pepper, and julienned carrot. Cook for about 5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Return the reserved chicken to the pan. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, toasted sesame oil, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir thoroughly to coat the ingredients.
- For a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch-water mixture and cook for 1 minute until the sauce thickens.
- Serve hot, accompanied by steamed rice or noodles if desired.
Notes
- Adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the amount of red pepper flakes.
- This dish can be made with other proteins such as tofu or shrimp.
- For extra flavor, add ginger or different vegetables according to your taste.
