Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
Vegetables
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 cup water chestnuts, sliced
Sauce
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Other
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and chicken broth until smooth. Set aside.
- Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and stir-fry until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics and vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and sliced onion, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shredded cabbage, sliced carrots, chopped celery, and sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until just tender.
- Combine and finish cooking: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the bean sprouts and sliced water chestnuts. Pour the prepared sauce over all the ingredients and stir well to coat everything evenly.
- Thicken sauce and serve: Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
Notes
- Substitute chicken with shrimp, pork, or tofu for variety.
- Add broccoli, mushrooms, or snow peas for additional vegetables.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce to your desired level of saltiness.
