  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Marinade and Chicken

  • 1/2 lb (225g) skinless chicken breast, cut into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Vegetables and Garnish

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 4 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 medium carrot, cut into strips
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed
  • 1 scallion, sliced
  • Sesame seeds, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine cornstarch, lemon juice, soy sauce, ground ginger, and chicken broth. Add the chicken pieces and let them marinate for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors and tenderize.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Drain the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and stir-fry the chicken pieces for about 4 minutes until they are lightly browned and partially cooked. Remove the chicken to a plate.
  3. Stir Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the chopped shallot and stir fry for a few minutes until fragrant. Then add the bell pepper strips, shredded cabbage, and carrot strips. Continue to stir fry until the cabbage wilts and the vegetables are slightly tender, about 4 minutes.
  4. Combine and Finish Cooking: Pour the reserved marinade back into the skillet along with the partially cooked chicken and thawed peas. Stir fry everything together until the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked through. This should take a few minutes.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish the stir fry with sliced scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve warm over cooked rice or enjoy it on its own for a wholesome meal.

Notes

  • For added flavor, you can add a splash of sesame oil at the end of cooking.
  • If you prefer a spicy kick, add some red chili flakes or fresh sliced chilies while cooking the vegetables.
  • Ensure the chicken pieces are cut uniformly for even cooking.
  • Substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth to make it lighter or vegetarian-friendly by omitting the chicken.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed jasmine or basmati rice.
