This spicy stir-fry has tons of flavour and takes less than 20 minutes to hit the table. For an extra-fiery kick, add more chili flakes or use hot chili-garlic sauce instead of the flakes.
Ingredients
1 cup chicken broth, or bouillon
1/2 cup apple juice
4 garlic cloves
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp hot chili powder
1/2 head Savoy or napa cabbage
1 red bell pepper
3 green onions
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Instructions
Pour broth and juice into a bowl. Add garlic, soy, cornstarch and chili flakes. Stir until cornstarch dissolves. Slice cabbage into bite-sized pieces. It should measure about 4 cups (1 L). Cut pepper into thin strips. Thinly slice onions. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Oil a wok or large frying pan and set over medium-high. Add chicken. Stir-fry until lightly golden, 3 to 5 min. Stir broth mixture, then pour into pan. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up and stir in any brown bits from pan. Add cabbage and pepper. Stir-fry until chicken is cooked through and cabbage is as soft as you like, 3 to 5 min. Taste and stir in more soy sauce, if needed. Just before serving, stir in onions. Excellent over steamed rice or cooked vermicelli noodles.
