- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoon Shaoxing cooking wine or chicken broth

Instructions
1. Marinate the chicken by tossing it with soy sauce, cornstarch, white pepper, baking soda, and sesame oil. Set aside for 10 to 15 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing cooking wine (or chicken broth), sesame oil, water, and cornstarch to make the stir fry sauce.
3. In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat. Stir fry the cabbage, carrot, and bell pepper for 2 to 3 minutes until the cabbage softens.
4. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok and stir fry minced ginger and garlic for 30 seconds. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 4 minutes until cooked through.
5. Return the cooked vegetables to the wok with the chicken. Pour the prepared sauce over everything and toss for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir in green onion pieces and serve hot with sesame seeds on top.
