- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Drain marinated chicken and reserve marinade. Stir-fry chicken for about 4 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove chicken and add shallot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until softened.
- Add bell pepper, shredded cabbage, and carrot to the skillet. Sauté for about 4 minutes.
- Add reserved marinade and chicken back to the skillet. Stir until heated and sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve immediately, garnished with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve over rice or noodles if desired.
Notes
Letting the chicken marinate enhances flavor; don't skip the garnishes for added visual appeal.
