Ingredients
• The Protein: 1 lb boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts (sliced thinly).
• The Garden Base: 1 small Chinese Cabbage (or 1/2 head green cabbage, thinly sliced) and 1 Red Bell Pepper (sliced).
• The Aromatics: 2 cloves of Garlic (minced) and 1 Onion (thinly sliced).
• The “Magic” Sauce: 3 tbsp Coconut Aminos (a soy-free, sugar-free alternative to soy sauce), 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil, and a pinch of Ground Ginger.
• The Sizzle: 2 tbsp Avocado Oil or Ghee (high smoke point for that professional sear).
• Optional: Top with fresh green onions or sesame seeds for an artistic finish.
Preparation Steps
1. The High Heat Sear: Heat your oil in a large wok or skillet until shimmering. Add the sliced chicken in a single layer. Let it sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to get those “wow” golden edges shown in your photo.
2. The Aromatics: Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the pan. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant and the house smells incredible.
3. The Veggie Toss: Add the sliced red bell pepper and the thinly sliced cabbage. Toss constantly over high heat for 3-4 minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt but still maintains a slight “bite.”
4. The “Velvety” Glaze: Pour your mixture of coconut aminos and sesame oil over the dish. The liquid will sizzle and reduce quickly, coating the chicken and vegetables in a glossy, savory “treasure”.
5. The Finish: Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately while the colors are bright and the steam is rising.
