Instructions:
1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better).
2. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), cornstarch, and water until smooth.
3. Stir-fry the chicken: Heat the cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.
4. Stir-fry the cabbage: Add the minced garlic to the wok and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced cabbage and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
5. Combine and simmer: Return the chicken to the wok. Pour the sauce over the chicken and cabbage. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
6. Serve: Serve hot over rice or noodles.
Tips and Variations:
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of ginger or a dash of sesame oil.
- You can substitute other vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce to your liking.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- For a thicker sauce, use more cornstarch.
