  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 cutting board

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced thinly
  • 1/2 head green cabbage chopped
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger minced

Garnish

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions sliced

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the green onions for garnish.

Cooking

  • In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Add the chicken strips to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in minced garlic and ginger. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to combine with chicken and aromatics. Cook until cabbage is tender but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Pour soy sauce over the stir fry. Stir to coat all ingredients evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Serving

  • Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Storage

  • Place any leftovers in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
