2 tablespoons olive oil or peanut oil
4 slices bacon cut into ½ inch pieces
5 cloves garlic smashed and roughly chopped
5 dried red chilies seeds removed and roughly chopped
1 boneless skinless chicken breast sliced across the grain into ½ inch slices.
1 ½ lb. cabbage hand-shredded into bite sized pieces, washed, and thoroughly dried
2 teaspoons Shaoxing wine or Mirin rice wine
1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons chicken stock or beef stock
½ teaspoon Chinese black vinegar
2 scallions cut into 2 inch pieces
Sesame seeds optional

In a wok over high heat, add the oil. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, remove from the wok. Add the garlic and chili, turn down the heat to medium, and stir-fry for a minute, being sure to not burn the garlic. Remove from the pan.
Add the chicken and stir fry until cooked though. Return the garlic and chilies to the pan.
Add the cabbage, wine, soy sauce, sugar, and chicken stock. Turn up the heat to high, cover the lid and let the cabbage cook for 1-2 minutes. Uncover the lid, and stir in the black vinegar, scallions, and salt to taste. The cabbage should be wilted, but still slightly crunchy and caramelized.
Stir in the chicken and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.
Serve immediately with chili crisp, soy sauce and additional green onions, if desired.
