Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Oils
- 1 lb. ground chicken (or ground turkey, beef, or pork)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Seasonings and Sauce
- Salt and ground pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon roasted red chili paste (or more if you like spice)
Vegetables and Garnish
- 4 cups coleslaw mix
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the ground chicken evenly.
- Brown the chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked through.
- Add aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, which infuses the dish with vibrant flavor.
- Incorporate sauces and chili paste: Mix in low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and roasted red chili paste. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Toss in vegetables: Add the coleslaw mix and sliced green onions to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the coleslaw is wilted and tender but still crisp.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey, beef, or pork for the chicken, depending on preference.
- Adjust the amount of roasted red chili paste to control the spice level.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
- Serve over rice or quinoa if you want a more filling dish.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
