Step 1
Start by heating some canola oil in a large 10-inch skillet over high heat. Toss in the chicken and cook it, stirring often, for a couple of minutes. Then add the peanuts, garlic, and ginger, and keep cooking until the chicken loses its pink color, which should take about 3 more minutes. Next, stir in the green onions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil, letting everything cook together for another couple of minutes. Once it’s all heated through, take the skillet off the heat and mix in the fresh cilantro. Serve the chicken mixture over a bed of cabbage and enjoy!
