Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon EACH of the soy sauce, cornstarch, cooking sherry and chicken broth. Add the chicken to the bowl. Stir gently and season to taste with black pepper. Set aside.

In a large nonstick skillet heat the vegetable oil until shimmering. Add the mushrooms, pepper, and onion, and cook until the vegetables are tender and starting to brown slightly, about 7 minutes. Add the cabbage in the last minute of cooking and cook until just wilted. Remove the vegetable mixture to a dish and tent with foil to keep warm.

Add the chicken and accumulated juices to the skillet and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the 1/2 cup chicken broth, the fish sauce, the sesame oil, and the remaining tablespoons of soy sauce, cornstarch, and sherry. Blend this cooking sauce well and add it to the skillet with the chicken. Simmer until thickened, about two minutes. Stir the vegetables back into the mixture. Serve over hot cooked rice.

Six-Layer Nachos that You Can Make & Freeze

Stir fry’s are something I make a lot in my house, whether it’s something on my meal plan or a way to get rid of vegetables that I overbought. I can eat them with or without meat. Hubby prefers meat. Mostly I use chicken but I have used leftover London broil cut into strips. And the great thing about stir fry’s is that there is no set ingredients; use whatever veggies you have. It’s healthy and delicious and it’s a “good cheap eat.”

i never think to add cabbage to stir fry, but it’s always so good when i have it at a restaurant or somewhere else. will have to try this recipe… we love chinese food
