Wash, deseed, and chop the Chinese cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Mince the ginger and garlic, and chop the onion finely.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Marinate the Chicken (Optional):<\/strong><br \/>If time permits, marinate the sliced chicken in a mixture of soy sauce and a dash of pepper for at least 15 minutes. This step enhances the chicken\u2019s flavor, although it\u2019s optional.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Saut\u00e9 Aromatics:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic, stirring until they release their wonderful aromas, about 1 minute. Add the chopped onion and saut\u00e9 until it turns translucent and soft.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<p><strong>Cook the Chicken:<\/strong><br \/>Add the marinated chicken strips into the pot, stirring occasionally until the chicken turns white and is mostly cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Simmer the Broth:<\/strong><br \/>Pour in the chicken broth and let it come to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and allow the chicken to impart its flavors into the broth for about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Add the Cabbage:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>   Introduce the chopped Chinese cabbage into the simmering broth. Stir in the soy sauce and oyster sauce, mixing everything well. Simmer the soup gently for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>\n<p><strong>Thicken the Soup (Optional):<\/strong><br \/>For a slightly thicker soup, stir in the cornstarch mixture, ensuring it\u2019s well dissolved in the soup. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the soup thickens.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Season the Soup:<\/strong><br \/>Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference. Remember, the soy and oyster sauces contribute saltiness, so adjust carefully.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Garnish and Serve:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>   Once the soup reaches your desired taste and consistency, remove it from heat. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing each with chopped spring onions. For a fragrant finish, drizzle with a touch of sesame oil.
