- 1 tablespoon canola or corn oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 6 medium green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic or 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth or water
- 2 tablespoons vinegar (plain rice vinegar preferred)
- 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce (lowest sodium available)
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste (optional)
- 1 teaspoon red hot-pepper sauce, or to taste (optional)
- Put the cabbage in a large serving bowl.
- Set aside.
- In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

- Stir in the green onions and garlic.
- Cook for 1 minute, or until aromatic, stirring frequently.
- Stir in the broth, vinegar, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes.
- Boil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced to about 3 tablespoons.
- Pour over the cabbage.
- Toss to blend.
- Drizzle with the hot-pepper sauce.
- Prepare 2/3 cup uncooked brown rice using the package directions, omitting the salt and margarine.
- Meanwhile, cut 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 4 ounces each) into slivers.
- Add them to the skillet after browning the sesame seeds and cooking the green onions and garlic as directed.
- Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Stir in the broth, vinegar, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, stirring occasionally.
- Pour over the cabbage and toss.
- Serve over the rice.
- There are many kinds of Chinese cabbage, and they seem to have multiple names.
- Dont worry.
- You can use Chinese cabbages interchangeably.
- They are usually milder than hard-headed green cabbage, but even that, and savoy cabbage, can be used in this recipe.
- Napa cabbage has pale, crinkly green leaves.
- Its easy to prepare: Stack the leaves and thinly slice, starting at the tip end and working back toward the root end.
- The closer you get to that end, the narrower you should cut the cabbage.
- Then you wont have large bites of tough stem.
