Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast sliced into strips, boneless, skinless
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil divided
- 2 egg beaten, large
- 1 ½ cups red cabbage shredded
- 1 ½ cups green cabbage shredded
- 2 cups mushroom shitake or baby bella, sliced
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chinkiang vinegar
- 2 teaspoons garlic paste or grated garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste or grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Season the sliced chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet and let them cook, undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, until cooked through. Carefully remove the eggs and place them on a cutting board. Roll the eggs up and slice them into thin slices, set aside.
- Turn the heat up to medium-high, add 1 tablespoon of the oil and the seasoned chicken into the skillet, and cook, stirring and tossing frequently to sear the chicken on all sides, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, red cabbage, green cabbage, and mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender, about 3-5 minutes.
- While the vegetables are cooking, make the sauce. In a bowl whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, Chinkiang vinegar, garlic paste, ginger paste, and cornstarch.
- Add the eggs and chicken back to the pan with the vegetables and pour the sauce over everything.
- Stir and cook everything together until everything is coated in sauce and the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and serve.
