Instructions

1
aquecer

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet. Add approximately three tablespoons of olive oil.

1min
2
selar

Add the chicken breast, cut into cubes or strips, to the hot skillet.

Dica: Sear the chicken without seasoning initially to prevent it from releasing liquid and losing nutrients.

3
refogar

Once the chicken is nicely browned and no longer releasing liquid, add the minced garlic (about three cloves) and sauté until fragrant.

2min

Dica: If you don't like minced garlic, simply mash it.

4
refogar

Add the onion cut into cubes and let it sauté briefly.

1min
5
temperar

Season the sauté by adding one teaspoon of lemon pepper, half a teaspoon of ground ginger, one teaspoon of salt, and half a teaspoon of paprika.

1min

Dica: Paprika helps with color since little bell pepper is used. Adjust salt after adding soy sauce, which is also salty.

6
adicionar

Add the diced yellow and red bell peppers, along with one small diced tomato, for color and flavor.

1min 30s

Dica: You can also add green bell pepper if desired.

7
cozinhar

Add a pinch of chili pepper, if using, and mix well so the vegetables wilt slightly, but don't overcook the chicken or it will become chewy.

2min

Dica: Overcooking the chicken can make it have a rubbery texture.

8
misturar

Add about two cups of sliced cabbage and mix. The cabbage should be crisp but tender.

3min

Dica: The cabbage provides a texture reminiscent of noodles.

9
temperar

Add two tablespoons of soy sauce (tamari). Taste and adjust salt, if necessary.

1min

Dica: Soy sauce already contains salt, use it sparingly.

10
finalizar

Turn off the heat and finish by drizzling with a swirl of sesame oil and sprinkling with toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions.

1min

Dica: Use a little freshly ground black pepper for a final touch (to taste).
