🍜 Chinese Chicken Cabbage Stir-Fry (Weight Watchers Friendly & Homemade)

Ingredients:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced

• 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

• 1 tbsp rice vinegar

• 1 tbsp cornstarch

• 1 tbsp sesame oil (or olive oil)

• 3 cups green cabbage, shredded

• 1 cup carrots, julienned or shredded

• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

• 3 green onions, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

• 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (extra, for sauce)

• 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional but adds richness)

• 1 tbsp water

• Optional garnish: sesame seeds or fresh cilantro

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, mix the chicken slices with 1 tbsp soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.

2. Heat sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add garlic, ginger, cabbage, carrots, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4–6 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

4. Return chicken to the pan, add the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water, and toss everything together.

5. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the chicken and veggies.

6. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
