Notes
– You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for richer flavor.
– Napa or red cabbage can be substituted.
– To make it vegetarian, replace chicken with tofu and use vegetarian oyster sauce.
– Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
– Best reheated in a skillet over medium heat for fresh texture.
