Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons cold water, divided
  • 3 teaspoons sesame oil, divided
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 pound chicken breast tenderloins, cut into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 3 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
  • 1 (4 ounce) can sliced shiitake mushrooms, drained
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sherry
  • 3 green onions, chopped

Directions

Step 1
Whisk 2 tablespoons water, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, and cornstarch together in a large bowl. Add chicken, toss to coat, and set aside.

Step 2
Combine remaining 4 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a separate bowl. Whisk in hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and soy sauce until well combined; set sauce aside.

Step 3
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add eggs and cook for 3 minutes; flip and cook until firm and set, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into thin strips.

Step 4
Add marinated chicken to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 6 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the outside and the juices run clear, about 6 minutes more; transfer to a plate.

Step 5
Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, garlic, and sherry; cook until cabbage starts to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add chicken, sliced egg, and reserved sauce to the skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Toss in green onions and serve immediately.
