Stir-Fried Chicken with peppers and Snow Cabbage

This vibrant chicken and snow cabbage stir-fry is a fantastic high-protein dish that delivers a punch of authentic coastal Chinese flavour. The combination of succulent chicken strips and the unique, salty-sweet crunch of preserved snow cabbage creates a sophisticated texture. By marinating the chicken in a traditional egg white and cornflour mixture, the meat remains incredibly tender, contrasting beautifully with the crisp matchstick peppers.

Perfect for a quick midweek dinner, this healthy meal is as nutritious as it is delicious. The use of Shaoxing wine and toasted sesame oil provides an aromatic finish that rivals any takeaway. Serve it immediately over a bed of steamed jasmine rice or lean rice noodles for a balanced, high-protein lunch or dinner that feels both light and satisfying.

How to make Stir-Fried Chicken with peppers and Snow Cabbage

Cut boneless chicken breast crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then stack slices and cut into matchstick-size strips. Whisk egg white in small bowl until foamy; transfer 1 tablespoon to medium bowl (reserve remaining egg white for another use). Add chicken to bowl with egg white. Add soy sauce, 2 teaspoons rice wine, cornflour, and white pepper; toss to coat. Mix in 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Let stand 15 minutes.

Mix preserved snow cabbage and sugar in small bowl. Heat 14-inch-diameter flat-bottomed wok or heavy 12-inch-diameter skillet over high heat until drop of water added to wok evaporates on contact. Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil and swirl to coat wok. Add sliced chicken breast, spreading evenly. Cook without stirring 30 seconds, then stir-fry until sliced chicken is no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer chicken slices to plate. Add remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil to wok, then add red and green peppers and stir-fry until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Stir in snow cabbage mixture and salt. Return chicken to wok; add remaining 1 tablespoon rice wine and stir-fry until chicken is just cooked through, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat. Stir in remaining 1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil into stir-fry and serve.
