Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) boneless chicken breast
Vegetables:
- 1 small Chinese cabbage
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 inch ginger
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Create a flavorful sauce by whisking soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water in a small mixing vessel. Reserve for later use.
- Ignite a wok with vegetable oil over intense heat, reaching a sizzling temperature around 400°F.
- Introduce minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil, rapidly stirring for approximately 30 seconds until aromatic notes emerge.
- Slide chicken strips into the wok, allowing them to sear and develop a golden-brown exterior for 2-3 minutes while occasionally rotating.
- Incorporate shredded Chinese cabbage, tossing vigorously for 2-3 minutes until leaves transform from crisp to slightly tender with a delicate crunch.
- Stream the prepared sauce across the wok’s surface, continuously agitating ingredients to ensure comprehensive coating and sauce thickening within 1 minute.
- Calibrate seasoning with strategic pinches of salt and freshly cracked pepper to elevate flavor profile.
- Transfer the vibrant stir-fry immediately to serving plates, accompanying with steamed rice for a complete culinary experience.
Notes
- Maximize flavor by marinating chicken strips in soy sauce and ginger for 15-30 minutes before cooking to enhance tenderness and taste.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos and ensure oyster sauce is gluten-free.
- Keep vegetables crisp by cooking on high heat and not overcrowding the wok, allowing ingredients to sear quickly and retain their texture.
- Add extra vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for increased nutrition and color variation in the stir-fry.
