If you have any pan drippings from your jerk chicken SAVE it and add to this dish. Prepare the vegetables and set aside. Try to keep them the same size so they cook evenly. Heat the oil in a wide pan on low and go in with the garlic for 20 seconds. Turn up the heat to medium and go in with the pep - pers, onion, ginger and celery and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Then add the soy and Hoisin sauces and toss. Now go in with the pieces of jerk chicken, mix well and then the cabbage. At this point you can add all of the other ingredients. Remember to add any pan drippings you may have and for a MORE intense jerk flavor you can add a tablespoon of your fav jerk sauce/marinade. Please don’t cover the pot as we want the vegetables to maintain a slight crunch. That is unless you like soggy vegetables, then do your thing. The soy and salt we added should be enough to properly season this dish, but you can adjust to your own liking. Now you have a reason to make extra jerk chicken!
