Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground chicken or turkey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated

Veggies:

  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup green onions chopped

Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce optional

Optional Add-Ins & Toppings:

  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce optional
  • Fried egg
  • Cooked rice cauliflower rice, or noodles
  • Sesame seeds or crushed peanuts

Instructions
 

Heat your skillet:

  • In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Cook the ground meat:

  • Add 1 lb ground chicken or turkey to the pan. Break it up with a spatula and cook for 5–6 minutes, until fully browned and slightly crispy on the edges.

Sauté garlic and ginger:

  • Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger. Cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

Add cabbage and carrots:

  • Toss in 4 cups shredded cabbage and 1 cup shredded carrots. Stir everything together and cook for 4–5 minutes, until the veggies are tender but still have a little crunch.

Pour in the sauce:

  • Add 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon sriracha (if using). Stir well to coat everything evenly and let cook for another 2–3 minutes.

Finish with green onions:

  • Turn off the heat and stir in most of the chopped green onions, saving some for garnish. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Serve and enjoy:

  • Scoop into bowls and top with optional fried egg, sesame seeds, or a dash more sriracha for heat. Serve as-is or over rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
