Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 medium head green cabbage, shredded (about 6 cups)
- 1 small carrot, julienned (optional for color; omit for lower carbs)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch piece ginger, peeled and grated
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced (reserve some for garnish)
Sauce & Seasoning
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Salt and cracked pepper, to taste
- Red pepper flakes or a dash of chili paste (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Prep ingredients: shred the cabbage, mince garlic and ginger, and slice green onions so everything is ready to go before you heat the skillet.
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp sesame oil. Add the ground chicken and cook until no longer pink, breaking it into small pieces.
- Push the browned meat to one side, add the remaining oil, then sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Mix with the meat.
- Add cabbage and carrot, toss, and cook until cabbage is wilted but still slightly crisp, about 4–6 minutes.
- Stir in coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and green onions. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Serving
- Divide into bowls and garnish with extra green onions and sesame seeds. Store leftovers promptly.
Notes
Don’t overcook the cabbage; use a wide skillet to help moisture evaporate. Adjust sweetness and acidity to taste, and this dish reheats beautifully.
