Vegetables
- 5 cups cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Oils and Sauces
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos or low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tsp chili garlic sauce, or more to taste
Garnishes
- Sesame seeds for serving, if desired
- Green onions for serving, if desired
- Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease, remove the chicken from the pan, and set aside on a plate.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the thinly sliced cabbage and julienned carrots, sautéing over high heat for 4-5 minutes until golden brown on the edges and tender.
- Add aromatics: Stir in the minced ginger and garlic, cooking for an additional 1 minute to release their flavors.
- Combine and season: Return the cooked ground chicken to the skillet. Pour in the coconut aminos (or soy sauce), sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, hoisin sauce, and chili garlic sauce. Toss everything together thoroughly to coat the cabbage and chicken evenly with the flavorful sauce.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired for added texture and freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or pork for the chicken if preferred.
- Use low sodium soy sauce instead of coconut aminos to reduce sugar content.
- Adjust the chili garlic sauce amount according to your spice preference.
- For a vegan version, replace ground chicken with crumbled tofu or tempeh and use hoisin sauce that is vegan-friendly.
- Serve this dish with cauliflower rice for an even lower-carb option.
