• 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken: slice it into thin strips and place it in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and the cornstarch to create a marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Set aside for 10-15 minutes to marinate.

Step 4

While the chicken marinates, prepare the slaw. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, red cabbage, and julienned carrot.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, honey, the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle this dressing over the slaw, toss well, and set aside.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until fully cooked and slightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 9

In the same skillet, stir-fry the bell peppers, snow peas, and green onions for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 10

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the remaining 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce. Toss everything together to combine and heat through.

Step 11

To serve, divide the prepared slaw among plates, creating a bed for the stir fry.

Step 12

Spoon the chicken and vegetable stir-fry over the slaw.

Step 13

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your 'Chinese Stir Fry Over Crunchy Slaw'!
