Vegetables:
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)

- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar (optional)

Instructions
- Infuse sliced chicken with a zesty marinade of soy sauce and cornstarch, allowing flavors to meld for 10-15 minutes.
- Transform cabbage, carrots, and bell pepper into delicate shreds and ribbons. Prepare green onions for a fresh garnish.
- Ignite a large skillet with vegetable oil over robust heat, searing marinated chicken until it develops a golden, caramelized exterior and reaches perfect doneness. Transfer cooked chicken to a holding plate.
- Revive the same skillet with additional oil, releasing aromatic garlic and ginger to create a fragrant base.
- Introduce chopped vegetables to the skillet, orchestrating a vibrant stir-fry that maintains their crisp texture and brilliant colors.

- Vegetable Crunch: Keep vegetables crisp by stir-frying quickly over high heat, maintaining their vibrant colors and nutritional value.
- Protein Variations: Swap chicken with tofu, shrimp, or beef for diverse dietary preferences and exciting flavor profiles.
- Spice Customization: Adjust chili flakes and honey levels to match personal heat tolerance and sweetness preference.
