Stir-fried Chicken and Cabbage Recipe

Ingredients:

- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium head of cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, adds umami)
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (for thickening the sauce)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup water

Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better).

2. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), cornstarch, and water until smooth.

3. Stir-fry the chicken: Heat the cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.

4. Stir-fry the cabbage: Add the minced garlic to the wok and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced cabbage and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.

5. Combine and simmer: Return the chicken to the wok. Pour the sauce over the chicken and cabbage. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

6. Serve: Serve hot over rice or noodles.
