Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
2 large eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups shredded red cabbage
1 ½ cups shredded green cabbage
2 cups sliced mushrooms, shitake or baby bella
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Chinkiang vinegar
2 teaspoons garlic paste, or grated garlic
1 teaspoon ginger paste. or grated ginger
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

Season the sliced chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Pour the eggs into the skillet and let them cook, undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, until cooked through. Carefully remove the eggs and place them on a cutting board. Roll the eggs up and slice them into thin slices, set aside.
Turn the heat up to medium-high, add 1 tablespoon of the oil and the seasoned chicken into the skillet, and cook, stirring and tossing frequently to sear the chicken on all sides, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, red cabbage, green cabbage, and mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender, about 3-5 minutes.
While the vegetables are cooking, make the sauce. In a bowl whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, Chinkiang vinegar, garlic paste, ginger paste, and cornstarch.
Add the eggs and chicken back to the pan with the vegetables and pour the sauce over everything.
Stir and cook everything together until everything is coated in sauce and the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and serve.
