Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 500g boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

Vegetables

  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Seasonings & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free option)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon chili flakes (or to preference)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and shred the cabbage into thin strips. Mince the garlic finely and cut boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  2. Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  3. Add Garlic and Cabbage: Lower heat to medium, add minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shredded cabbage, stirring frequently so it softens while retaining some crunch.
  4. Flavor It Up: Pour in the soy sauce and mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the savory flavor. Sprinkle chili flakes now if you want to add spice.
  5. Final Touches: Cook everything together for another 3-4 minutes until cabbage is tender yet fresh. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use high heat to cook chicken quickly and lock in juices.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to get a nice golden crust on the chicken.
  • Slice cabbage thinly for even cooking and to prevent sogginess.
  • Use fresh garlic instead of pre-minced for better flavor.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity to your taste preference starting with less.
