Preparing Chinese Chicken Cabbage Stir-Fry
Making this stir-fry is straightforward and rewarding. You’ll start by sautéing aromatic onion and garlic, then add diced chicken until it’s perfectly browned. Next, stir in vibrant veggies like cabbage, bell pepper, and carrot for both color and crunch. Finally, a drizzle of soy sauce and optional oyster sauce brings everything together. In just a few steps, you can create a delicious meal that looks and tastes like it came from a restaurant.
