Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside this flavorful sauce.
2. Heat cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
4. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
5. Add chopped cabbage, julienned carrots, and sliced bell pepper to the skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender but still vibrant in color.
6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
7. Stir fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat all the ingredients evenly.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as desired.
9. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy this colorful and nutritious dish!
