# Cooking Steps:
01 - Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, and sugar in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes until cooked through and golden brown. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
03 - Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Sauté minced garlic and grated ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.
04 - Add cabbage, carrot, and bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender but still retain some crunch.
05 - Return cooked chicken to the pan. Pour in prepared sauce and toss everything together. Cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and evenly coats all ingredients.
06 - Stir in green onions and remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
