Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and a pinch of black pepper. Cut your chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated. Let this mixture marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), black pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes (if desired) in a small bowl. In a separate cup, mix cornstarch with a splash of water to create a slurry. Set both the sauce mixture and the slurry aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter until melted and bubbling. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until it turns golden brown and is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add another teaspoon of butter if needed and toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Stir-fry these ingredients for about 2 minutes until they become fragrant.
- Add the shredded cabbage, sliced bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir them together and cook for 5-6 minutes to keep the vegetables tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, pouring the prepared sauce over everything. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot over rice or noodles.
