Ingredients
    For the Base:
  • 450 g ground chicken (lean)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated or minced)
    • For the Veggies:
  • 4 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage (optional, for color)
  • 1/2 cup green onions (chopped)
    • For the Sauce:
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sriracha (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp hoisin sauce (optional, for extra depth)
    • For Garnish
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (toasted)
  • 1 tbsp green onions (sliced, for garnish)
Instructions
    Sauté the Aromatics
  1. 1
    In a large skillet over medium-high heat (190°C), heat sesame oil. Add chopped onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
    2. Cook the Chicken
  2. 2
    Add ground chicken to the pan. Use a spatula to break it into crumbles and cook for 6–8 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned. Drain excess moisture if needed.
    3. Add the Vegetables
  3. 3
    Stir in the coleslaw mix, red cabbage (if using), and green onions. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp.
    4. Mix in the Sauce
  4. 4
    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and hoisin sauce. Pour over the chicken and veggies, then toss everything together to coat evenly.
    5. Garnish and Serve
  5. 5
    Turn off heat. Top with toasted sesame seeds and fresh green onions. Serve warm, either alone or with cauliflower rice or jasmine rice.
