For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. If you don't have sherry on hand, dry white wine can be used as a substitute. Serve over steamed rice or with Chinese mandarin pancakes for a more traditional experience.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cold water, 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, and cornstarch. Add the chicken strips, ensuring they are well coated. Set aside to marinate. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a separate bowl, combine the remaining 4 tablespoons of water and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Whisk in the hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and soy sauce until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set this flavorful sauce aside. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
03
StepHeat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook for approximately 3 minutes, creating a thin omelet. Flip the omelet and cook for another 3 minutes, until it is firm and set. Transfer the cooked egg to a cutting board and slice it into thin strips. (Cook time: 6 minutes)
04
StepAdd the marinated chicken to the same skillet, cooking over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue cooking for another 6 minutes, until it is golden brown on the outside and the juices run clear, indicating it is cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate. (Cook time: 12 minutes)
05
StepHeat the remaining 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shredded cabbage, drained shiitake mushrooms, minced garlic, and sherry. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage begins to wilt, approximately 2 minutes. (Cook time: 2 minutes)
06
StepReturn the cooked chicken and sliced egg strips to the skillet. Pour the reserved sauce over the mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and coats all the ingredients, about 5 minutes. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
07
StepToss in the chopped green onions. Serve immediately, enjoying the harmonious blend of flavors and textures. (Final prep: 1 minute)
