Step 1: Prepare the Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch slurry, honey, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sliced chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

  1. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
  2. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the cabbage, carrot, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 4: Combine and Finish

  1. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
  2. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

  1. Remove from heat and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
  2. Serve hot with steamed rice, noodles, or on its own for a low-carb option.
